Scammers lie around each and every corner. This lesson teaches you what to look for so you can stay safe and protect your information.
A scam is when someone tries to trick you into giving away money or personal information like your Social Security number, bank account, or password.
Scams can take the form of a phone call, text message, email, or even a person at your front door. They can seem very real, but there are various warning signs you can learn to spot.
Tech Support Scam: A pop-up or caller says your computer has a virus and asks you to pay to fix it or give them remote access.
Grandparent Scam: Someone calls pretending to be your grandchild in trouble, asking for money urgently.
Phishing Email: A fake email pretending to be from your bank, the IRS, or Amazon, asking you to click a link and enter your details.
5 quick questions on scam recognition. You'll get instant feedback on each answer.
A good password is your first line of defense online. This lesson shows you how to create strong ones and how to keep track of them.
When you create an account online, whether it be for email, banking, or shopping, a password is the key to that account. Using a weak password is like a broken lock securing your door.
If a scammer guesses your password, they can access your email, your bank account, and even your personal photos.
The best passwords are long, random, and unique. Here's a simple method that works great endorsed by the US FTC and UK NCSC:
The "Three Random Words" methoed: Pick 3 words that have nothing to do with each other, then add some numbers and a symbol.
Tips for a great password:
It's hard to remember many different passwords. Here are your options:
Option 1 โ Write them down (safely): Keep a small notebook with your passwords. Store it in a secure, private place. Label it something ordinary.
Option 2 โ Use a Password Manager: These are apps (like LastPass or the one built into your phone) that store all your passwords securely. You only need to remember one master password.
Many websites offer "two-step verification" (also called 2FA). When you log in, they send a text message with a short code to your phone. You then type that code to prove it's really you.
This is like having two locks on your door. Even if someone guesses your password, they still can't get in without your phone.
