The holidays are a time for togetherness, celebration, and giving. Unfortunately, scammers take advantage of the season to give gifts to themselves, using your money to pay for it.

The annual Oregon Scam Jam will take place four Fridays in April. The Oregon Attorney General and other experts will provide information and tips during four virtual sessions to help residents fight against fraud.
