The Problem
Seniors Are the #1 Target for Online Scams
Every year, older adults lose billions of dollars to digital fraud — from fake tech support calls to phishing emails to Medicare scams. The tactics are sophisticated, and they’re designed to exploit trust.
The good news? Knowledge is the best protection. Cyber Savvy was created specifically to give seniors the awareness and skills they need — in plain, accessible language, completely free of charge.
