The free seminar will feature experts from Operation Shamrock and the Lexington Police Department that will cover:

• How to spot red flags before it is too late.  What to do if you or a loved one gets scammed.
• Real-life cases (yes, they happen here).  Resources for victims – and steps for recovery.

The Knights of Columbus was founded in 1882 to provide financial security to underserved communities.
