The Barnstable Police Department will be holding a scam and fraud awareness presentation this week.
Police will be educating the community about common and emerging scams, how they work, what to watch for and how to protect personal and financial information.
Investigators will also have tips on what to do if you've been targeted and how to report the fraud.
Police say the program is designed to keep the public informed, alert and safe.
The presentation starts at 10:30 Friday morning at the Osterville Village Library.
