Leduc County, Alberta, is hosting a public workshop on March 27, 2026, to help residents learn how to identify and stop modern scams. The session, called “Think Twice: Spotting and Stopping Fraud,” will take place at the Thorsby Arctic Spas Recreation Complex at 12:00 p.m.

The workshop will focus on how criminals are using new tools like artificial intelligence to make their messages more convincing and harder to spot. Leduc County organizers want to help the community understand these new threats so they can better protect their personal information.

The event will be held at 4901 48 Avenue in Thorsby. Attendees will learn about specific dangers like synthetic impersonation, where technology is used to fake a person’s identity to trick others.
