Our smartphones have become indispensable, allowing us to communicate from almost anywhere. But, we hear more and more about friends and family who are victims of cyber scams.  With the right information, we can avoid becoming a victim of a scam ourselves and keep our financial and personal information safe.  Join us to learn how at this free workshop presented by ERAU faculty and security experts Ann Phillips and Mark Grzegorzewski.
