Event Description
Fraud & Scams Are on the Rise: Is Your Business Protected?
Picture this: It’s a busy morning and you get a call demanding payment—or else your utilities will be shut off. It’s a scam, and it’s happening to small businesses across Maine every day.
Today’s scams are more sophisticated than ever. From fake invoices to spoofed websites and urgent calls from “official” agencies, small business owners are being targeted in new ways, and the financial fallout can be devastating.
Join Maine SBDC Advisor Dan Umphrey and Brandon McDonald from Northern Maine Development Commission for a practical session that breaks down how to spot scams before they cause harm. This webinar will give you the tools to strengthen your defenses and feel more confident navigating common threats.
You’ll learn how to:
- Spot the top 5 scams currently targeting Maine’s businesses
- Verify suspicious emails, callers, and websites
- Check if your business info has already been compromised
- Understand your legal options and how to report fraud
- Decide if your team needs cybersecurity training
Whether you’ve been scammed before or want to tighten your defenses, this webinar offers a clear starting point.
Funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. SBA. Reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities will be made if requested at least two weeks in advance. Contact mainesbdc@maine.edu
