Information about the modules and lessons for the HSBC UK Smart Money Programme.

Module 6 – Fraud Bootcamp

With increasing financial independence comes the need to build awareness of the threat of fraudsters and how they might target you and your money. This module looks at the different types of fraud and the steps we can all take to keep our money and identity safe.

Lesson 12 – Fraud and Your Money

One of the biggest threats to managing our money is fraudsters both in person and online. This session provides guidance on how to recognise fraud across a wide range of channels to protect yourself, your identity and your money.

Lesson 13 – Fraud and Social Media

As you build financial independence it’s important to be aware of the threat of fraudsters particularly in online channels. This session builds understanding of the dangers of oversharing on social media and the impact this can have, as well as outlining steps we can take to keep our social media usage safe.

Lesson 14 – Fraud and Money Mules

When times are challenging it’s easy to be caught out by offers of the chance to build up some extra income. This session helps build knowledge of how fraudsters recruit money mules, the consequences of becoming one and how to avoid being targeted.

Lesson 14 will be delivered by HSBC's Financial Education Team. Dates for HSBC to do this can be included on the booking form.
