National Consumer Protection Week: Online "Social" Security Awareness

I could not let National Consumer Protection Week come close to an end without my dedicating an episode to Older Americans who are learning to navigate the cyber world. To many of them, this is a new era and way of communicating with the outside world as they stay safe in their homes during the pandemic.

In this episode, I am talking directly to those who have older parents, family members, friends or neighbors who deserve to know of the many risks and dangers that come when using the internet, whether its for email purposes, shopping, or socially connecting with their loved ones, medical providers, shopping.

They too deserve to know how to safely and securely navigate the internet on their electronic devices. Please listen and share the podcast with them before you follow through with the advice, suggestions and tips I provide to help protect them, their devices, and personal and financial information.

Remember to subscribe and share your new knowledge with others.

Frauds and Scams Targeting Our Seniors

The challenges our vulnerable elder citizens face at the hands of those who are less than scrupulous has been an issue addressed by several organizations, including AARP. It is particularly concerning in these times when our seniors are isolated and more vulnerable. They may limited access to their usual support systems and thus, can become easier prey from people with ill conceived motives. It is also a fact that a large percentage of seniors have experienced fraud at the hands of family members and caregivers. In this episode, we will explain some of the more commonly known scams that target our elders, including the Sweetheart Scam, Phishing emails and Imposter scam and how and why they are effective. Most people think it will not happen to them, but those intending to defraud are highly sophisticated and are successful more often than not. According to a 2018 report released by AARP, the top 10 scams cost older Americans $2.9 billion.
