Join Tony LaPalio for an essential presentation on Internet Safety and Avoiding Online Scams. In this session, Tony will guide you through the basics of internet safety, including how to be aware, prepared, and defensive while navigating the web. We’ll cover how to recognize and deal with “SPAM” (unsolicited communications) and how to adjust your device privacy settings to keep your information safe. You’ll also learn why when it comes to passwords, longer really is stronger. Next, we’ll take an in-depth look at internet scams and more importantly, how can you spot them before it’s too late. If you’ve ever wondered what to do if you’ve fallen victim to an online scam, don’t worry! Tony will give you a clear action plan so you can respond quickly and minimize the damage. This presentation will empower you with the tools and knowledge to browse the internet with confidence and avoid the pitfalls of online scams.
