Scam Awareness Week

14.11-20.11.2022 

People who got scammed often feel uncomfortable to talk about what happened but it’s important to have this conversation in order to help others and stop them from falling victims to scam. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, it can happen to anyone. Scams can be very sophisticated and it can be hard to recognise them.

So what is scam?

According to the Collins dictionary a scam is an illegal trick, usually with the purpose of getting money from people. 

Come and join us in the library to learn about various scams and how to recognise them at our Human Library event.

What is human library?

Human Library is interactive program during which you can borrow a “human book” and have a conversation with them about their experience for 30 minutes. This concept first started in Denmark in 2000 and run for 8 hours with more than 50 “human books”.
