This event teaches older adults how to spot common scams and what to do if they think someone is trying to scam them. The class covers scams that happen by phone, email, or even in person, like fake charity requests or people pretending to be family members in trouble.

We will explain how scammers try to make people feel scared or rushed so they act quickly. Attendees will learn to stop and think before giving money or information. We will talk about ways to double-check if a message is real—like calling a trusted family member or checking with the company directly.

A big part of the class is learning how to report scams in Japan. We will discuss who to call—like the local police or the National Consumer Affairs Center—and what information to share when making a report.

Note: This class will be taught in Japanese and is in connecting with the local community center. For additional information, please contact us through our website.
