The isolation of the pandemic has given rise to new ways for scammers to prey on older Americans.

Scammers initiated contact with older adults online more often than the phone line for the first time, according to an October report from the Federal Trade Commission.

Today on All Sides with Ann Fisher, we get expert advice for seniors on how to avoid getting scammed online. Plus, how to set boundaries for school-age tech users.

Guests:

  • Julie Jargon, family and tech columnist,
