Senior AI Scam Defense

You will not just learn about scams. You will leave protected. This program teaches the behavioral core that defeats scam families that do not exist yet: the active pause, the callback protocol, and the family code word, drilled until they are automatic. You complete the hardening lab on your own accounts, so you walk out with frozen credit, a locked phone number, a claimed Social Security account, and bank alerts that are facts, not intentions. You watch a voice clone and a deepfake get made in minutes, under a strict consent protocol, so the threat stops being mysterious. You learn which payment rails can be reversed and which cannot, because the money rail decides the outcome. And the people around the senior are covered too: the trusted person module protects independence without accusing the family in the room, and the CSFDP track certifies the directors, administrators, and caregivers who deliver the defense. Every statistic is labeled counted, estimated, or industry forecast. No fear, no urgency theater, no shame. Calm, capable, and respectful of your intelligence.
