This session covers both scam prevention and financial wellness — helping residents recognize the most common scams and tactics used to target our communities, while connecting them with financial counseling support, including help with credit and debt and guidance on recovering from scam-related financial loss-all at no cost for San Franciscans. Participants will also have the chance to share their own experiences and feedback, helping shape how the city responds to and addresses scams going forward.
