Led by the Treasurer's Office's Economic Justice Center, the initiative is hosting Listen and Learn Sessions to educate the community on the most common scams and tactics scammers use to target residents. During these sessions, participants will have the chance to share their own experiences and feedback — input that helps shape how the city responds to and addresses scams going forward.
StopScamsSF is the nation's first city-led program dedicated to protecting residents from financial scams. Scammers count on silence. If you have been scammed, your story protects the next person. If you are working to make sure it never happens to you or someone you love and your instincts help us build something better.
