This class helps older adults feel more comfortable using their smartphones and teaches them how to stay safe from phone scams. Participants learn how to change phone settings like screen brightness, text size, and sounds to make their phones easier to use. They also practice turning on security features like passcodes and fingerprint or face recognition.

The session explains common phone scams and how to spot them. People learn what scam calls sound like, such as someone pretending to be from the bank or a government office asking for money or personal information. The teacher explains red flags to watch out for—like pressure to act quickly or requests for private details.

There are practice activities where participants role-play answering scam calls and learn how to hang up or say no. Everyone gets a handout with helpful tips to take home.

By the end of the class, we hope you will feel confident using your phones and safer when talking to strangers who call.

Note: The class will be in Japanese. Invitation is through the local community center, please contact us through our website for further details.
