"Grandma, it's me — I'm in trouble and need money NOW. Please don't tell Mum and Dad." Always verify by calling another family member.
Callers claim you owe tax and will be arrested. Governments NEVER call demanding immediate payment or gift cards.
"Your computer has a virus" — caller asks for remote access. Legitimate companies never cold-call about your computer.
Online relationships that quickly turn into requests for money. If someone you've never met asks for money — it's a scam.
"You've won! Just pay a small fee to claim." You cannot win a lottery you didn't enter. Real prizes never require fees.
Unsolicited offers of cheap repairs. Always get 3 quotes and never pay cash upfront to strangers.
Have an open conversation about scams — without being condescending. Share examples. Make it a normal topic.
Write down the names and numbers of trusted people they can verify with before sending any money or giving information.
Teach them one rule: Never send money or give personal information to someone who called you unexpectedly.
