Avoiding Phishing Scams: Senior citizens are prime targets for phishing scams, where cybercriminals attempt to trick individuals into revealing personal or financial information through deceptive emails or messages. It is important that they are aware about verifying the sender’s identity and dangers of fraudulent links or attachments to safeguard themselves.

Preventing Identity Theft and social media frauds: Online chatting platforms may be used to impersonate trusted contacts or manipulate seniors into disclosing sensitive information, leading to identity theft or fraud. Being aware of fake profiles and possible frauds and exercising caution by enabling privacy and security features, and limiting sharing of personal information in online platforms is important to ensure safety and security.

Additionally seniors should be encouraged to report any suspicious emails, messages, or chat interactions to the platform's support team or relevant authorities for help and support.

By exercising caution and implementing safety practices, senior citizens can protect themselves from online threats and enjoy safe and secure communication via email and chatting platforms.
