Digital safety for seniors: a plain-language checklist

Frauds, weird links, and suspicious messages explained without jargon. A quick guide so seniors and families avoid risks.

Online scams are growing and older adults are frequent targets. Explaining risks in plain language reduces fear and improves prevention.

We recommend three simple rules: do not open unexpected links, verify senders, and ask for help before sharing personal data.

In SeniorGPT we teach fraud patterns with real examples: fake raffles, “tech support” messages, and banking phishing.

The app guides step-by-step to review privacy settings on phones and popular apps, always with large text and slow audio.

Digital safety grows with accompaniment: family, caregivers, and seniors aligned to block spam and report abuse.
