Inhaltsangabe

Scammers don't target the careless. They target the trusting, the polite, and the financially secure, and that describes most people who pick up this book.

The Senior Scam Safety Handbook is a clear, practical guide to recognizing and stopping the scams costing older adults billions of dollars every year, including the newest and most dangerous threat: AI-generated voices and videos convincing enough to fool even the most careful listener.

Inside, you'll learn:

• The four psychological tricks behind nearly every scam call


• How to spot the grandparent scam, government impersonation calls, phishing emails, romance scams, and investment fraud before you lose a dollar


• Why gift cards, wire transfers, and cryptocurrency are the biggest red flag in any request for payment


• How AI voice cloning and deepfake video scams work, and the simple family "safe word" system that stops them cold


• Exactly what to do in the first 24 hours if a scam happens, and who to call to report it


• How to talk to family about a scam without shame, blame, or losing your independence

Written in plain, respectful language, with real-world stories throughout showing exactly how these scams unfold, and exactly what stops them, this handbook gives you the tools to protect your money, your identity, and your peace of mind.

You've handled harder things than a stranger on the phone. This book shows you how to make sure it stays that way.
