  • Sometimes we have to intervene

    Sometimes we have to intervene
    Jul 29 2025
    What would you do if you overheard a phone conversation that sounded like the person was being scammed? Last year, I accompanied my mother to an appointment at her doctor’s office. I overheard a gentleman sitting across me making a phone call. He was speaking loud enough that it was hard to ignore the conversation. After less than a minute, I jumped up out of my chair and told the man he was being scammed. Sometimes we have to intervene to protect others.

  • When in doubt, call your friend

    When in doubt, call your friend
    Jul 23 2025
    What would you do if a friend sent you an email asking if you would be willing to buy them a gift card? For most of us, our default reaction would be to say yes and help out our friend. Because most of us are generally nice folks, we are prone to be the victim of an email gift card scam. This scam recently happened to my mom and this week we talk about how it works.

  • Don't panic when your computer wails

    Don't panic when your computer wails
    Jul 16 2025
    Recently, I was about to start a fraud prevention presentation when my mom called to tell me she was having some computer issues. I drove over to her place. Upon arrival, her computer had a pop-up on the screen that made her computer inoperable. The pop-up was making a siren noise with a voice telling her not to shut down the computer. My mom did everything right. She closed the door to her office and called her “phone a friend” which happens to be me.
