SAN DIEGO, Calif., (January 27, 2022) -- San Diego County Credit Union® (SDCCU®), one of California’s largest credit unions, will host “Online Romance Scams,” a complimentary educational webinar presented by former San Diego County Deputy District Attorney Paul Greenwood on Wednesday, February 2, 2022 from 12 to 1 p.m. The online webinar format allows the community to attend from anywhere and is part of SDCCU Financial Wellness Wednesdays, launched in partnership with the San Diego County Library System in support of Live Well San Diego.
Online dating has become increasingly popular among single people searching for love.
