Internet Safety

There are no shortage of scams out there these days. Phone calls and emails trying to trick us, and our loved ones, out of our money. But, what else is out there? What is common sense to us that maybe our seniors aren’t aware of? Maybe there is something even we aren’t aware of!

• Viruses and malware

• Phishing

• Data breaches/password theft

• Social media scams

• Banking fraud

• Privacy violations

While it’s annoying and frustrating, and sometimes disheartening, to constantly be looking for scams, or thinking the worst, it’s something that is very necessary these days. My husband almost gave out his SIN# to a phone caller one day! Awareness and knowledge is key.
