This session gives you the skills to enjoy the internet with confidence — without falling for tricks, traps, or scams. We explain how to recognize fake ads, misleading links, “too good to be true” offers, and the most common fraud tactics targeting older adults. You’ll learn practical safety habits: creating strong passwords, using secure payment methods, understanding cookies, and browsing safely on any device.
We also share our trusted list of legitimate shopping sites, services, and resources, so you know where to go when you want something real. With clear examples and step-by-step demonstrations, this workshop helps you stay independent, informed, and protected every time you go online.
How this helps older adults:
-
Reduces risk of scams, fraud, and online trickery
-
Builds confidence using credit cards, PayPal, and secure websites
-
Teaches how to evaluate whether a site, deal, or message is safe
-
Encourages smart decision-making and safer online habits
