Things You Should Absolutely Avoid if You’re Over the Age of 60

Scam calls and emails often sound urgent on purpose. They may claim there is a bank problem, a missed payment, a family emergency, or a prize that needs immediate action. That pressure is designed to make people panic before they have time to think clearly or check the facts.

The safer move is to pause before responding. Do not click links, share passwords, give payment details, or call numbers from suspicious messages. Contact the company or person directly using a trusted number. A real emergency can wait a few minutes while you verify what is actually happening.
