As online scams, fraud, and impersonation schemes continue to rise across email, text messages, phone calls, and social media platforms, Scam Proof for Seniors, a new book by Dr. Juan Rodriguez, provides readers with practical, easy-to-understand tools to protect themselves and their loved ones from modern scams.
Written for everyday readers — particularly seniors, families, and non-technical users — Scam Proof breaks down how scams work, why they are so effective, and how anyone can learn to spot red flags before becoming a victim. The book addresses a wide range of threats, including phishing emails, fake tech support calls, romance scams, impostor government messages, financial fraud, and social engineering attacks.
“Scams are no longer just a technology problem — they are a human problem,” said Dr. Juan Rodriguez, author of Scam Proof for Seniors. “I wrote this book to give people clarity, confidence, and practical skills they can use immediately to protect their money, identity, and peace of mind.”
Rather than relying on fear or technical jargon, Scam Proof focuses on education and empowerment. Readers are guided through real-world scenarios, step-by-step explanations, and clear examples that show how scammers manipulate trust, urgency, and emotion. The book also provides actionable guidance on what to do if a scam is suspected or has already occurred.
Topics covered in Scam Proof for Seniors include:
- How scammers exploit trust, fear, and urgency
- Common warning signs across phone calls, emails, texts, and websites
- How to verify legitimacy before clicking, paying, or responding
- Steps to take if personal or financial information has been compromised
- How families can talk openly about scams and protect vulnerable loved ones
Designed to be accessible and practical, Scam Proof serves as both a preventive guide and a reference resource readers can return to as scams evolve.
Scam Proof for Seniors is available in print and digital formats through major online retailers.
