Don't Get Fooled: A Senior Man's Guide to Staying Safe Online
from The Encore Project Podcast · host The Encore Project
Cybercriminals specifically target older adults — and that's not an opinion, it's a documented strategy. Seniors are seen as more trusting, more likely to have retirement savings, and sometimes less familiar with the tactics scammers use. The good news is that protecting yourself online doesn't require becoming a tech expert. It requires knowing what to watch for and taking a handful of practical steps that can significantly reduce your risk. In this episode, we cover the most common online threats senior men face — phishing scams, identity theft, fake tech support calls, and social media traps — and walk through exactly what to do to protect your personal information, your devices, and your financial accounts.
