Summer is almost here and that means you might have some travel plans coming up, but you'll still want to stay connected with all your electronic devices while away from home. That's where Wi-Fi scams come into play. We all depend on Wi-Fi when it comes to checking our social media or sending out emails and scammers are pouncing on that opportunity.

He'll tell us how Wi-Fi scams work and what you need to know to keep from becoming a victim, including staying away from what some are calling the "evil twin."
