Scammers are getting smarter — but so can you. This interactive 60-minute workshop equips older adults and caregivers with the skills to recognize, avoid, and report common scams. Using GOLD’s S.C.A.M. method (Stop, Confirm, Avoid, Make a Report), participants will learn how to handle suspicious calls, emails, texts, and online offers with confidence.

Through real-life examples, group discussion, and hands-on practice, you’ll discover the latest scam tactics, practice spotting red flags, and learn safe steps to take when something doesn’t feel right. Each participant will leave with a scam prevention checklist and clear instructions on how to report fraud attempts.
