Pop-up messages on your computer; suspicious looking emails; risks shopping online;
robo calls; phishing; ‘grandparent’ scams; identity theft.
These are just some of the threats we face every day.

In November 2013. OCF held a well attended forum on ‘Frauds and Scams’. It is time to do it again. The crooks have become a lot smarter. We need to get smarter too. We all need to learn how to protect ourselves. We need to learn how not to become victims. If we are victimized we need to know what to do. Come learn about the latest threats to our security.

Orleans Police Sgt. McLaughlin will provide a review of his experience with frauds, phone and internet scams, and identity thefts. It is a long list. Jennifer Wagner, Store Manager of TD Bank, Orleans, will discuss financial frauds and scams.

Our panel will provide guidelines to help you become more aware of the threats around you. A question and answer session will follow the presentations.

Stop The Bleed Fall 2019 Training Classes

The Orleans Citizens Forum in partnership with the Orleans Fire and Rescue Department conducted a highly successful Stop the Bleed training program this past spring. Over 170 people received hands-on training in 7 classes through June. All 7 classes were filled with waiting lists for some of the sessions. Orleans Fire Chief Tony Pike, Administrative Assistant Melissa Clayton and Firefighters Tom Pellegrino, Dana Medeiros, Aaron Burns and Leslie Vasconcellos conducted the hands-on training along with Nauset Beach EMT’s Hank Rex, Kyle DeFrancesco and Marjorie DeBrosky. Orleans Natural Resources director Nate Sears participated in each class also. The Orleans Police Department and the Orleans Senior Center provided the use of their facilities as training sites.

As a result of the program’s success, we are partnering for 3 more sessions this fall on Tuesdays September 17, October 15 and November 18. Each class will be held at the Orleans Police Department from 3:30 – 5:30 PM. Registration information is located at the bottom of this page.
