Scam Prevention Toolkit

Modern scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated, often leveraging advanced technology and artificial intelligence to target individuals. Developed directly from our recent Senior Workshop at Durham Region Educational Services, this Scam Prevention Tool Kit is designed to equip you with the knowledge and confidence to protect yourself and your loved ones.

Inside this resource, you will find an overview of prevalent fraudulent schemes such as phone spoofing, phishing emails, fake websites, and emerging threats like AI deepfakes or QR code "quishing" alongside practical, step-by-step strategies to verify identities, secure your personal data, and safely report suspicious activity.
