Internet Scams Targeting Older Adults - Deep Dive

This podcast takes a deep dive into our Information Tool: Internet Scams Targeting Older Adults. The elderly in Canada are increasingly being targeted by internet scams. Seniors are particularly vulnerable to internet scams because they tend to be polite and trusting, have less computer skills, and are less likely to report fraud. 

You can access the companion NICE Information Tool on our website at: https://www.nicenet.ca/articles/internet-scams-targeting-seniors. The online Information Tool  provides related links to videos, infographics, and a printable version. The National Initiative for Care of the Elderly (NICE) has developed a series of information tools derived from research studies that focus on understanding the challenges people face as they age. The research for these information tools is conducted manually, while their distribution utilizes AI-based technologies for generating audio and images.
