From Tinder to Venmo: When an Online Fling Drains Your Bank Account

Human beings are social animals. We strive for connection with others and  seek it on social media or dating sites. We have all heard the love stories that began on Instagram, Twitter, Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge – but what about the stories no one is telling? During this fireside chat, Lisa Plaggemier, Executive Director of the National Cybersecurity and Dr. Margaret Cunningham, Behavioral Scientist, will get into the flings that people don’t want to tell their friends about: online romance scams. Join us to discover the science behind getting scammed by a match and how to avoid a swipe right that ends in a depleted bank account.

Speakers:
Lisa Plaggemier, Executive Director | National Cybersecurity Alliance
Dr. Margaret Cunningham, Principal Research Scientist | Forcepoint
