Mrs. Helen's Wise Heart - Relationship and Grandparent Scams
This guide (#10 of 14) focuses on Recognizing Relationship and Grandparent Scams
This lesson tackles the "social engineering" side of scams—when the bad guys play on emotions like kindness, trust, or worry.
Here's the prompt I used to create the lesson:
"Write a cautious but compassionate Storybook for seniors on romance scams and 'Grandparent' scams. The story should follow Mrs. Helen, who learns that even very kind online strangers or a 'grandchild' in trouble should never ask for money via gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency. The main rule should be: If someone you’ve never met asks for money, it is a scam. Emphasize taking a moment to call a trusted family member before acting."
Key Lesson - Recognizing scams that manipulate emotions, and the rule of never sending money to people you don't know well or who pressure you for urgent help.
I used Copilot's Storybook to create this lesson, ZOOM's Clips to record the story (lesson) and ScreenPal do any final editing and to upload the lesson to YouTube.
