Program description
What you'd be putting on the calendar
Avoid Tech-Support Scams — a free 20-minute talk. A warm, plain-English talk that names the four scams older adults actually encounter — fake “urgent problem” pop-ups and calls, impersonators (bank, Amazon, Medicare, IRS, “grandchild in trouble”), prize/refund tricks, and online sweetheart scams — then teaches five simple rules that beat almost all of them. Strictly educational: nothing is sold, no products are named, and every attendee keeps a large-print one-page checklist for the fridge. Includes two quick live “how-do-I” wins and friendly Q&A.
The full minute-by-minute outline is at our scam-safety-talk page — committee-forward friendly.

The assurance your committee will ask about: this presentation is strictly educational. Nothing is sold or promoted, no attendee information is collected without the venue’s permission, and attendees always remain in control of their own devices — the presenter never asks for or handles passwords or banking.
