This is the feedback thread for the MNers who attended an exclusive event where they were given tips and advice for protecting themselves against financial scams and fraud, as well as enjoying special treats to ‘take five’ out of their busy lives.

Here’s what Take Five have to say: “Our research shows that many people do not feel confident that they could identify a fraudulent approach. Therefore the event will aim to empower and inspire parents to feel better prepared to ‘confidently challenge’ fraudsters, and recognise signs of fraud - remembering the mantra – My Money? My Info? I don’t think so.”

Attendees, please answer the questions below:

  • Can you tell us what the key message for Take Five was?
  • Do you think having attended the event would help you identify fraud and scams in the future?
  • What would you say you learnt the most about at the event?
  • Would you say that you know more about fraud and scams since attending the event?
  • Following the event, how would you describe what you’ve learnt - in a nutshell - to a friend who didn’t attend?

Non-attendees - To be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £150 John Lewis voucher, please share on the thread how you 'take five' out of your busy lives to relax.

All attendees who post answers to the above questions below will be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £300 John Lewis voucher.

If you weren’t able to attend, you can watch the talk on fraud here.

Thanks and good luck!

This is @ASausageDogCalledBeans feedback for the Take Five event:

  • Can you tell us what the key message for Take Five was?
To take five minutes before giving out information, trust your instinct and don't be pressured into going against your gut reaction. Be cautious and don't be afraid to call things to a halt.
  • Do you think having attended the event would help you identify fraud and scams in the future?
Yes I do, it made me think about how exposed we are to fraud on a daily basis. Criminals are getting clever and finding new ways to get to you, eg making their email or phone number appear to be from a genuine organization.
  • What would you say you learnt the most about at the event?
Organisations don't ask you for account information over email or phone, they would already have that information if they were genuine, its taught me to be wary and question things.
  • Would you say that you know more about fraud and scams since attending the event?
Yes it has really opened my mind and is a very valid lesson for me.
  • Following the event, how would you describe what you’ve learnt - in a nutshell - to a friend who didn’t attend?
Take 5 (simple and to the point) cant think of a better description.
