“Don’t Trust Links You Didn’t Ask For.” Uninvited links are like stray raccoons on the porch — cute from a distance, but they’ll rummage through your life if you let them. If you didn’t start the conversation, don’t start clicking. 🔹 Step 1 — Pause Unexpected text or email with a link? Breathe. No one ever saved their bank account by rushing. 🔹 Step 2 — Preview, Don’t Tap On a computer, hover your mouse over the link to see the real web address. On a phone, press and hold the link (don’t release) to preview the destination. If it looks odd, misspelled, super long, or asks you to log in → walk away. 🔹 Step 3 — Go Around, Not Through Need to check something? Open a new browser tab and type the site yourself (bank, Medicare, SSA, Amazon). Never use the link that came to you out of the blue. 💬 Quick Example You get a text: “Your package is delayed. Track here: bit.ly/FreeFastShip .” Feels helpful. It isn’t. Open your carrier’s real app or type their official site...

And every single day, someone clicks before thinking. That’s when the scammers win. Scammers thrive on panic. They want you to react before you reflect . They’ll yell things like: “Your account will be closed in 24 hours!” “You’ve won a free cruise!” “Confirm your payment now!” Unless you actually entered a “Cruise-for-Clueless-Clickers” contest, chances are — it’s bait! 🎣 So before you take that digital nibble, follow Cyber-Bob’s Three Golden Rules: 🔹 Step 1 — Pause If the message feels urgent , that’s your first red flag. Take a breath. Sip your coffee. Urgency is the scammer’s secret weapon — calm is yours. 🔹 Step 2 — Inspect Hover your mouse over the link (don’t click!). If you see something like paypal-account-secure-verify-now dot xyz , congratulations — you’ve sniffed out a scam. 👃 If it smells phis...

https://youtu.be/0ANAm9D85co This first of 14 lesson focuses on the most common online threat - emails or texts trying to trick you into giving away personal information. Here's the prompt I used to create the lesson: "Create a fun and encouraging Storybook teaching guide for seniors about phishing scams. The story should follow a kind character, Grandma Betty, who nearly clicks a bad link but is saved by her memory of simple rules. Use simple language and a positive tone. The guide must clearly highlight three red flags to look for in suspicious emails/texts: urgent demands, bad spelling, and strange sender addresses." Key Lesson - How to recognize and safely ignore a phishing attempt. These stories were created using Gemini Pro and an experimental feature in Gemini called Storybook. I used ZOOM's Clips to record the story (lesson) and ScreenPal do any final editing and to upload the lesson to YouTube. You can find all of the posted lessons at: https://youtube.com/pl...
