New training: Tax scam mini-series and recent course releases

Published on
19 Mar 26

Employees are most likely to make risky decisions when pressure is high, urgency feels real, and the message looks familiar. That is exactly why tax season is such a popular period for social engineering attacks.

To help organisations raise awareness at the right time, we have released a new tax scam mini-series focused on the tactics attackers use to pressure payroll, finance, HR, sales teams, and individual taxpayers into handing over money, data, or access.

We have also included a roundup of other recent course releases covering AI safety, fraud awareness, workplace security, and compliance, giving organisations more ways to support safer day-to-day decision-making across the workforce.

Tax scam mini-series

These courses are designed to help users recognise pressure tactics, question suspicious requests, and avoid common scams during one of the busiest fraud periods of the year.

IRS Scams

Created for US residents, this course covers phishing emails, fake calls, text scams, and fraudulent websites impersonating the IRS to steal money or personal information.

End of Tax Year Scams

Designed for payroll, HR, and finance teams, this course explains why these roles are heavily targeted during year-end pressure periods, how attacks typically happen, and what steps can reduce risk.

For US customers, this course is titled Tax Season Scams.

Tax Scams for Sales Personnel

Built for sales teams, this course explores how cybercriminals take advantage of urgency, distraction, and financial pressure during the tax year end, along with practical ways to avoid common traps.

Available in English (UK).
