Wise & Wired Workshop

According to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), adults +65 lost over $4.88 billion to online scams last year — the highest loss group in America.

• 💔 Many were targeted through tech support scams and fake “virus alerts.”
• 💸 Others fell victim to investment and romance scams — losing their savings to criminals using fake profiles and cloned voices.
• 😢 And thousands of families were hurt by deepfake calls and A.I.-generated messages pretending to be loved ones in distress.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

The Wise & Wired™ Workshop helps you take back control — with simple, repeatable habits that keep your finances, identity, and peace of mind secure.

Designed for adults aged 65 and older, this workshop teaches how to:
✅ Recognize the most common scams targeting older adults
✅ Protect your phone, computer, and Wi-Fi router from hackers
✅ Detect fake links, calls, and A.I.-generated “deepfakes”
✅ Report fraud to the FBI’s IC3.gov and recover funds faster
✅ Build a personal “Digital Safety Routine” with your Trusted Cyber Buddy

Bring a Cyber Buddy with you!!!
