Exposed: The Resurgence of Online Scams Targeting Seniors
Taking care of the elderly is a Moral Imperative
The Internet is a fun and interesting tool. Unfortunately, elderly people are buying computers who have never used them before.
We can develop software for everything else
Software Developers create code for everything else. Why can’t they develop software? Software that protects old people who want to shop online and surf the web like everyone else?
It’s next to impossible to catch the Online Scammers. It’s unfair to senior citizens to restrict them from being online. Phishing is a common online scam. We need to protect the elderly from this scourge.
It’s sad for us all. We have to be watchful all the time. We also need to watch after the younger generation and the older generation as well. The problem is it’s so hard to catch criminals who operate in cyberspace. They could be anywhere.
And they often are not operating in the United States.
A lot of them operate in Russia, which makes them hard to stop
A lot of them come from Russia. They come from Countries where they are hard to track. The Countries are not always helpful in curtailing the problem. It’s like everything else. The first line of defense is ourselves.
Summary:
Seniors and children are vulnerable to online scams. Criminals often operate in Countries that might be reticent to stop the scourge. Politicians and Laws can only do so much. We need to work harder to protect Seniors and kids.
Final Thought:
People who scam Seniors suck.
