Grand Junction, CO – The Mesa County Sheriff’s Office is hosting a series of free scam prevention classes through the end of 2025 to help residents recognize and avoid fraud.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, the educational sessions will highlight common scam tactics, including phishing emails, fake prize calls, tech-support hoaxes, and law enforcement impersonation schemes.
The goal, officials say, is to help community members—particularly seniors—identify red flags before becoming victims of fraud. Participants will also receive resources on reporting scams and contacting local authorities if they suspect suspicious activity.
The classes are part of an ongoing effort by the department’s Community Outreach Division to reduce financial crimes in Mesa County. Deputies say that scam activity traditionally spikes during the holiday season, making these final-month workshops especially timely.
Each session will include interactive discussions and opportunities for attendees to ask questions. Class dates and registration details are available on the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page and website.
Residents are encouraged to bring friends or family members who may benefit from the information.
