  • The ElderGuard Cyber Senior Scam Education and Prevention Program is an engaging educational initiative designed to raise awareness and reduce the risk of scams targeting older adults. The program combines education with hands-on IT support and can be delivered in a flexible format: typically 1–2 in-person sessions followed by an optional webinar for continued support.

  • Scams targeting older adults are evolving at an alarming rate — and becoming more convincing than ever. From traditional mail fraud and phone scams to online phishing, fake charities, and cryptocurrency schemes, today’s threats are widespread and increasingly sophisticated. The rapid rise of AI has only made matters worse, enabling scammers to convincingly impersonate trusted individuals like friends, family members, or professionals.

    In 2023 alone, Americans aged 60 and older lost more than $3.4 billion to scams, with the average victim losing nearly $34,000.

    ElderGuard Cyber empowers participants to recognize red flags, develop safer online habits, and take control of their digital safety — before it’s too late.

  • Our sessions are informative, engaging, and designed with real-world application in mind. Topics include:

    • The Top 10 Scams Targeting Seniors Today - (Including phishing, tech support fraud, romance scams, AI ransom calls, fake charities, and more).

    • Hands-On Tech Help - Live demonstration and support using Deep Cover, a free mobile app developed with support from the National Science Foundation.
