SUMMARY:National Fraud Prevention Month
DESCRIPTION:March is Fraud Prevention Month\, a month of activities and events that aims to help Canadians recognize\, reject and report fraud.   Did you know that the fight against fraud starts with you? The old saying is true: knowledge is power. Avoiding fraud is all about knowing how to recognize the signs\, reject the claims that seem too good to be true and reporting them to the authorities.  Seniors and vulnerable adults are frequently the targets of scams. Fraudsters continue to target Canadians\, stealing their hard-earned money and leaving them devastated. The latest data shows Canadians lost approximately $97 million to fraud. \nTips to Protect Yourself Against Fraud \n\nNever give out your personal\, confidential information over the phone\nProtect your banking information\, never reveal your PIN or passwords to anyone\nNever pay money to claim your money or a prize\, there should be no processing fee\nKeep your personal information safe\, an identity thief will go through garbage and recycling bins\nBe skeptical\, if something seems too good to be true\, it probably is\n\nHelp keep yourself and other vulnerable adults safe by sharing information about scams with them.  At times\, vulnerable adults can feel confused or pressured\, you must be informed that it’s okay to hang up the phone or delete an email.  Fraud prevention is a responsibility we all share. \nFor more information\, please review our financial abuse resources or contact your local CRN.

SUMMARY:Provincial Learning Event - Digital Security Skills and Resources for Older Adults
DESCRIPTION:Register for BC CRN’s March Provincial Learning Event – Digital Security Skills and Resources for Older Adults. \nIs it time to figure out how to use your technology with confidence?  Technology keeps us connected\, healthy & happy\, but only if you know how to use it. Before this decade ends\, over seven million Canadian seniors will be making plans to age at home. And that home is expected to have at least 15 connected devices. Technology can help older adults with digital skills remain independent\, connected\, and healthy. It can also make home a safe place to grow old and save governments\, families\, and seniors money. \nBut a lack of digital skills leads to social isolation\, makes accessing government and other online services challenging\, and creates a population of older adults threatened to be left behind as technology further integrates into our daily lives. \n\nThe Gluu Society is a nonprofit that provides digital skills learning resources to older Canadians and the people & organizations that support them.  Join Gluu‘s founder & CEO\, Linda Fawcus\, discuss what digital security and digital literacy skills are necessary to help older adults confidently use technology… one tap at a time.
