Spotting Phishing: A Practical Guide for Parents and Seniors
Phishing is one of the most common online scams today. Criminals pretend to be trusted companies,

account, a missed delivery, a tax issue, or even something involving your child or grandchild.
The goal is simple: get you to react before you think.
