Scammers are getting smarter — but so can we.
Instructor: Krys W.
Would you know how to tell if a phone call, email, text message, or computer pop-up was actually a scam?
Our Seniors Against Scams workshop is a practical community learning experience designed to help seniors feel more confident recognizing and avoiding common phone and computer scams.
During this free class, participants will learn about scam warning signs, suspicious calls, phishing emails, fake pop-ups, and the tactics scammers use to create fear, urgency, and confusion.
No advanced computer knowledge is necessary.
