St Thomas seniors educated on internet safety
Over 50 seniors in St Thomas participated in an Internet Safety Awareness session led by the Flow Foundation aimed at empowering them to navigate the online space securely.
The session was conducted as part of an information seminar staged by the National Council for Senior Citizens. The forum focused on educating seniors on best practices for internet safety and provided tips on how they can identify and protect themselves from scammers and phishers.
Gwendolyn Spencer, aged 85, said she got valuable and timely information from the session.
“So many people try to take advantage of us because of our age. Earlier I got a call from an individual on behalf of my bank about savings investments. He asked for my details and I promised to call him back with the information. I now recognize that he was a scammer! I will most definitely be calling my bank to make a report. I thank God that I attended this training today,” she stated.
