Free drop-in session by Age UK Lincolnshire to help people over 50 spot and prevent scams.
Age UK are running a drop-in Scams Prevention booth at Lincoln Central Library on Thursday 12 November, from 10:30 am to 11:30 am. It's a free session, and since it's a drop-in, you can just pop in whenever suits you during that hour rather than committing to the full time.
The booth is part of a wider Scams Prevention and Support Programme that Age UK runs across Lincolnshire. It's aimed at people aged 50 and over, and it's free and confidential, so you can talk through things in private. The session is led by the county's Scam Prevention and Support Officer, who'll be on hand to give advice and information on how to spot scams and how to prevent them from working in the first place.
It's a practical sort of thing: if you've seen something that didn't feel right, or if you just want to know what to look out for, you can get some clear answers from someone who knows the current landscape. It's as much about prevention as it is about support, so it works whether you're coming with a specific worry or just want to be better prepared.
Every week we pick 🏆 the 5 best 🏆 things to do in Lincoln and send them to your inbox. Just one weekly email, no spam.

One small bit of context that's worth knowing: Age UK Lincoln & South Lincolnshire has changed its name to Age UK Lincolnshire, so if you've dealt with them before under the old title, it's the same organisation. The booth runs from 10:30 am to 11:30 am at Lincoln Central Library, and it's free to attend.
