Being scammed doesn’t just impact your bank account. It can shake your confidence, cloud your judgment, and make you question your instincts

Most people assume they’d spot a scam instantly. Behavioural science says otherwise.

Being scammed doesn’t just impact your bank account. It can shake your confidence, cloud your judgment, and make you question your own instincts. The shame and self-doubt that follow are often just as damaging as the financial loss itself.

Here’s what most people miss: scams aren’t about intelligence. They’re about circumstance. Anyone can be vulnerable under the right conditions, and understanding why is the first step to breaking free.

Join Credit Canada’s Education Lead and Credit Counsellor, Himank Bhatia, alongside Behavioural Science Specialist with Deloitte, Michelle Hilscher, for an eye-opening and supportive webinar that explores the psychological and behavioural impact of scams and how to move forward with confidence.

Drawing on her research and real-world experience, Michelle unpacks why scams happen, how vulnerability cycles form, and how to break them while rebuilding trust and supporting others affected.

In this 45-minute, action-oriented session, you will learn:

• A clear understanding of why scams happen to smart, capable people, and the myths that keep us from seeing our own risk
• How behavioural patterns and emotional responses can create cycles of vulnerability to scams
• Practical steps to interrupt these cycles and strengthen your awareness and decision-making
• How to support a friend or family member who may be caught in a scam right now, with empathy and effectiveness
• Strategies to rebuild confidence, regain control, and move forward after experiencing financial fraud

Bonus: We will wrap up with a live Q&A, your chance to ask questions and gain practical insights in a safe, judgment-free space.

Plus, a giveaway!

Anyone who registers and attends the live session will be automatically entered to win a $100 Amazon gift card, plus a Money Management Bundle featuring Moolala: Why Smart People Do Dumb Things with Their Money (and What You Can Do About It) and Credit Canada swag.
