5th April 2024Made of Money are offering a set of three simple, fun workshops to help people in Tower Hamlets get savvy about scams. There’s so much about going online that feels great: sharing news and playing games with friends, shopping for great deals and saving money by paying our bills online. But we also know that going online can be risky, with scammers and some businesses out to exploit our natural need for friendship and our desire for a bargain.
Join our workshops us for a cuppa and a chat, and we’ll share some ways to avoid the scammers and the fake offers, so you and your loved ones can enjoy your time online.
