Scam Proof Your Parents
A Guide to Elder Fraud PreventionBy Hugo Eldridge
Length2h 40m
About this audiobook
This book shines a light on the fast‑moving world of online fraud—especially the tricks that prey on seniors and anyone who finds new tech intimidating. Inside, you’ll find real‑world examples of common scams (from fake tech‑support calls to “too‑good‑to‑be‑true” investment pitches), along with clear, actionable steps to spot and stop them in their tracks.
Primarily written for older adults, their families and caregivers, and anyone who wants to look out for loved ones, it breaks down complex schemes into simple “red flags” and smart habits you can start using today. Think of it as a pocket guide to digital self‑defense: no jargon, just practical tips and memorable stories to keep you, and those you care about, safe online.
