The ability to spot a scam is an essential digital skill. In this lecture, we’ll review some of the most common scams, offer tips for avoiding them, and go over what to do if you do get scammed. We’ll look at sample emails, texts, and deepfakes to see how AI contributes to the increased spread and complexity of scams. We’ll also provide helpful resources for staying informed about the latest scams.
This Senior Planet from AARP class is being offered through the Senior Planet licensing program.
*In-Person Session: This session will take place at the Maria Reiner Center, which is located at 705 E 4th St, Hobart, IN. Location specifics (i.e., parking and building information) are provided to registrants via a confirmation letter that is sent after registration.
