Click Here to Get Scammed: The Art of Fraudulent Instructions
Wednesday, October 14, 2026 · 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM EDT
Virginia Risk Sharing Association · Occoquan, VA
About this event
This virtual presentation explores the world of fraudulent instructions—the “totally legitimate” emails, messages, and requests that somehow always involve urgency, secrecy, and sending money right now. We’ll break down how these schemes work, why they’re so effective, and the common tactics scammers use to bypass even the most well-trained employees. Attendees will learn how to spot red flags, verify requests before taking action, and avoid becoming the next cautionary tale in a cybersecurity training deck. From fake vendor payment changes to “urgent” executive requests, this session provides practical strategies to recognize and respond to suspicious instructions—without falling for the pressure.
