Hello!

With Father’s Day approaching, we’re reminded of all the love and protection our dads have given us through the years.


But in today’s digital world, many fathers, especially those from earlier generations, may not be fully aware of the dangers lurking online. It’s our turn to help protect them!

👨‍💻 Real Cases. Real Losses…

Unfortunately, many scammers specifically target older adults and non tech savvy users with online threats. Here are a few real examples:

🔹 Phyllis Weisberg, a 90-year-old widow, lost $20,000 to a scammer posing as tech support. Believing she was receiving help, she allowed remote access to her computer and her bank account was drained soon after.

🔹 In Canada, a man from Brampton was charged in a tech support scam that stole over $500,000 from 330 seniors. Victims were tricked into believing their computers had viruses, then paid for fake "repairs" often giving remote access in the process.

🔹 Some scammers even impersonate family members. In a recent case, a father received a WhatsApp message from someone pretending to be his daughter, urgently requesting money. Thinking it was real, he made the transfer only to realize later it was a scam.

🔐 How You Can Help

This Father’s Day, consider giving more than a gift… give your dad the knowledge and protection to stay safe online. A few simple steps can make a big difference:

• Use a device like Deeper Connect to block trackers and phishing attempts

• Remind him never to click unknown links or download suspicious files

• Encourage strong, unique passwords and set up a password manager

• Enable two-factor authentication where possible

• Have open conversations about the kinds of scams targeting older adults
