Frequently Asked Questions

What is an AI voice scam?

AI voice scams use technology to mimic your family member's voice. Scammers call you pretending to be someone you know to steal your money or personal information.

How do I protect against phishing?

Always check the sender's email address carefully. Never click on suspicious links or download attachments from unknown sources. Verify the request with a trusted family member.

Is Two-Factor Authentication safe?

Yes, 2FA is very safe. It adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of identification, like a code from your phone, in addition to your password.

What is a QR code scam?

Scammers send a QR code that, when scanned, redirects you to a fake website to steal your personal data. Always scan QR codes from known, trusted sources.

How can I report a scam?

You can report scams to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov or call 1-888-388-7220. We also provide a simple reporting form for our workshops.
