Scammers are professionals. This workbook helps older adults and the people who love them get ready.

Each of the 16 modules covers one common scam, from grandparent calls and fake Social Security agents to tech support pop-ups, romance scams, Medicare fraud, gold-bar couriers and crypto "investments." Every module starts with a true case from public records, then teaches the scam's steps, a simple Golden Rule and what to say. It ends with practice examples and a step-by-step plan if it already happened.

Every module includes: a true case from public records, the 6 steps of the scam, a Golden Rule, a red-flag checklist, 3 practice examples (one is real!), "what to say" scripts, an "if it already happened" action page, a fill-in plan, a guide for family and class leaders, an answer key, and a cut-out wallet card and fridge sign.
