American Exchange Bank is organizing a community- focused scam and fraud prevention training on Thursday, May 22, offering local residents the opportunity to learn how to protect themselves and their loved ones from increasingly sophisticated scams and fraud schemes.
The sessions will be conducted by Sharon Lewis, Vice President of Fraud for the Oklahoma Bankers Association. With extensive experience in financial fraud detection and prevention, Lewis will guide participants through the latest tactics used by scammers and provide actionable steps to recognize, avoid, and report fraudulent activity.
The training will include topics such as:
• Common types of scams targeting individuals, particularly the elderly.
• Techniques used by scammers through phone calls, emails, and online platforms.
• Best practices for safeguarding personal and financial information.
• Resources available for those who suspect they may have been victimized.
To reach as many community members as possible, American Exchange Bank will offer three separate sessions at different locations in Henryetta:
• 9:30 a.m. at American Exchange Bank, 510 W. Main Street.
• 11 a.m. at Henryetta Senior Citizens Center, 211 S. 11th Street.
• 1 p.m. at Chrystal Springs Retirement, 2301 W. Main Street.
The training sessions are free and open to the public. No pre-registration is required, and all age groups are encouraged to attend.
American Exchange Bank aims to provide these resources as part of its ongoing commitment to community education and financial safety awareness.
