Cybersecurity Awareness Month is a reminder that protecting personal and business information starts with awareness. At Queensborough National Bank & Trust, fighting fraud is important to us, that’s why we are hosting free community events to help individuals and business owners fight fraud.

“Spot it. Stop it. Protect Yourself” Free Fraud Prevention Workshop

Led by Angie Morales, Queensborough’s Bank Secrecy Act Officer, each “Spot It. Stop It. Protect Yourself.” session will cover common fraud schemes, warning signs, safer financial habits, and practical steps to take if a scammer makes contact or personal or business information may be at risk. A Q&A will follow, and light refreshments and snacks will be provided.
