The Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions and other state leaders are encouraging Kentuckians to educate themselves on the shifting tactics of scammers looking to deceive consumers.

“The best thing we can do is to prevent it from ever happening,” said Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear during last week’s Team Kentucky Update. “It’s really hard to get that money back once it’s been paid. The times we’ve been able to do it, returning those dollars, have been something pretty special, but we want to make sure that no one loses their life savings to one of these scams.”

The DFI is educating residents on technology used by scammers to clone voices, create deep fakes, and craft sophisticated schemes designed to steal personal and financial information. In addition to resources available on their website, the department is hosting four “Scam Jam” events across Kentucky to educate residents. The nearest event for the area will be in Jeffersontown on June 5.

“Topics will include information on what resources are available to help those that have already been victimized and how to prevent being victimized,” Beshear said. “We also have free secure document shredding for those who attend.”
