As more of life moves online, scammers are finding new ways to target unsuspecting users, especially seniors.
Fortunately, a few simple habits can go a long way in protecting yourself and your loved ones from online fraud.
Here are five tips to stay safe:
- Be Cautious with Emails and Texts – Don’t click on suspicious links or open attachments from unknown senders. Scammers often pose as banks, government agencies, or even family members.
- Use Strong Passwords – Create unique, hard-to-guess passwords for each account. Consider using a password manager to keep track of them.
- Verify Before You Share – Never give out personal or financial information unless you’re certain of who you’re talking to. When in doubt, hang up and call the organization directly.
- Keep Software Updated – Regularly update your computer, phone, and antivirus software to protect against the latest threats.
- Talk About It – Stay informed and share what you learn with friends and family. Awareness is one of the best defenses against fraud.
