We're well into the throes of the holiday season, so for many parents that means 'tis the season to rack up sales and get gift shopping checked off our lists. On today's episode we get real about protecting our loved ones, particularly the senior citizens in our lives, from the surge of cyber scams that come out of the woodwork this time of year.
We'll go over everything from recognizing red flags in phishing emails and fake online shopping sites, to navigating tech support scams and charity fraud. Unfortunately, I've seen this firsthand: someone close to me lost tens of thousands to con artists. And with an 11% increase in cyber scams targeting Americans over 60 in 2023, it's crucial to stay informed.
This episode is packed with essential cyber safety tips to keep our families and loved ones safe!
