COFFEE & CROSSING ROADS Podcast hosted by Carl Thompson with special guest Paul Davis the Retail Fraud Director at Lloyds Bank.This year has seen an increase in fraud taking place with a 3rd of Brits reporting an increase in scam calls and texts since the beginning of March. Recent research from Lloyds Bank has found that men are the most confident that they can spot signs of a scam, however a quarter share too much information on social media and a 3rd have no idea who sees their posts. As someone who most certainly fits the bill of being over-confident when it comes to spotting scams AND someone who over-shares on Social Media I've invited in Paul Davis the Retail Fraud Director at Lloyds to join me on the podcast to raise awareness of fraud and our private information.In this episode we discuss:- What can we do to protect ourselves from fraud? - What are the tell-tale signs to spot a scam?- How to keep your details safe online.Further Advice & Reading from Lloyds Bank:https://www.lloydsbank.com/help-guidance/protecting-yourself-from-fraud/keep-your-details-safe-social-media.htmlThank you for listening.Carl Thompson
