Seniors Workshop

Simple tools to recognize and defend against scams and fraud – with confidence, not fear.

Scams are becoming harder to recognize. Calls can sound genuine, messages can look professional, and unexpected requests can quickly create urgency or worry.

This friendly 40-minute workshop gives older adults a simple way to respond when something does not feel right – without technical jargon or information overload.

Participants learn one easy, repeatable routine: PAUSE · VERIFY · CONNECT.

These three steps work with suspicious calls, texts, emails, bank messages, family-emergency requests, investment offers and other situations involving pressure, money or personal information.

What you’ll learn . . .

• how urgency, secrecy and pressure are used
• how today’s scams can look and sound real
• step-by-step on how to PAUSE, VERIFY and CONNECT
• how to verify through a source you trust
• how to calmly end a pressured request
• what to do if you’ve already responded

You do not need to understand how scams are created.

You do not need to recognize every new scam (they change frequently).

You simply need a few smart, easy-to-implement steps. We’ll make them easy.
