Protecting Yourself from Scams and Fraud

Now, let's talk about something incredibly important: protecting yourself from scams and fraud. Unfortunately, senior citizens are often targets for scammers. Because they're the most vulnerable, we need to talk about it. In this segment, we will provide you with information to stay safe from schemes designed to steal your money or personal information. One of the most common scams is the tech support scam. Scammers will call pretending to be tech support. They'll claim your computer has a virus or that there's a problem with your software. Then, they'll try to trick you into giving them remote access to your computer. Once they have access, they can steal your personal information or install malware. The best way to protect yourself is to be skeptical. Never give anyone remote access to your computer unless you initiated the call. Be extra cautious about any unsolicited calls or emails that claim there's a problem with your computer. Another scam is the romance scam. Scammers create fake profiles on dating sites or social media platforms. Then, they build a relationship with their victims. Once they've gained their trust, they ask for money. They might ask for help with medical bills, travel expenses, or other emergencies. Never send money to someone you've met online. You should be cautious about revealing too much personal information. Always report suspicious activity to the platform you're using. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
