I’m Steve Wilson, a retired Registered Nurse (RN-BSN) and the founder of The Senior Living Report.
After decades working with older adults, I began noticing a different kind of pattern — not medical, but digital. Smart, capable people were being targeted not because they were careless, but because scammers knew how to exploit trust, urgency, and unfamiliar technology.
This guide was created to help you recognize small scam warning signs early, so you can put simple protections in place — calmly, confidently, and on your terms, before real harm occurs.
