SCORE webinar: Fraud-Proof Your Small Business: What Every Owner Should Know
You’re juggling a dozen things when your phone rings. The voice on the other end insists your power will be cut unless you pay immediately. It sounds urgent. It sounds official. It’s a scam, and it’s one of many that are targeting Maine businesses every day.
From convincing emails and fake invoices to spoofed websites and caller ID tricks, small business scams are getting harder to spot and easier to fall for. The financial damage? Often fast, serious, and hard to undo.
In this session, Brandon McDonald of Northern Maine Development Commission will unpack the latest scams and give you clear, practical tools to recognize and stop them before they impact your bottom line. If you’ve ever felt unsure whether an email or caller was legitimate, this webinar is for you.
What You’ll Learn:
How to recognize the most common scams targeting local businesses
Simple steps to confirm if a request is real or fake
Where to check if your business data has already been compromised
What actions to take if you suspect or discover fraud
Tips to protect your staff and decide if cybersecurity training is a smart next step
