๐ก๏ธ Protecting Our Seniors from Scams! ๐ก๏ธ
At Compassionate Care Solutions, we care deeply about the well-being of our seniors. Did you know that seniors are 80% more likely to fall victim to online and phone scams than younger adults? Letโs work together to keep them safe! Here are some quick tips:
1. Educate: Discuss common scams like fake lottery wins or IRS calls to help them spot red flags.
2. Verify: Encourage them to double-check any unsolicited calls or emails. A quick search can reveal if a number is associated with scams.
3. Limit Information Sharing: Remind them to never share personal information (like Social Security numbers) over the phone or online unless theyโre sure of who they're speaking to.
4. Use Caller ID: Let unknown numbers go to voicemail. If itโs important, the caller will leave a message.
5. Trust Their Instincts: If something feels off, it probably is. Urge them to hang up or ignore suspicious messages.
Together, we can make a difference! ๐
