These interactive conferences are held in communities throughout Idaho and feature presentations by national, regional, and local fraud experts. Scam Jam participants also receive literature and other materials to share with friends and family to help them identify fraud and protect against victimization. The ISJA believes problems are solved when people start talking. By having conversations at t
he community and local level, people are better able to spot and avoid scams. Scam Jams are important because con artists have several ways of stealing hard-earned money, including government imposter scams, phishing scams, tech-support scams, gold coin scams, oil and gas scams, sweepstakes and lottery scams, grandparent scams, and many more. Although their methods are different, research shows that the tactics scammers use are the same.
