dc.description.abstractElectronic fraud is an issue that can accompany the use of a computer, tablet, or cell phone with the internet. Electronic fraud can target anyone; however, research has shown that senior citizens over the age of 65 are the most likely group to become victims. The victim’s identity can be breached, costing thousands of dollars in damages. A class was provided to groups of senior citizens to teach them how to detect and avoid electronic fraud. The conclusion of the presentation featured a questionnaire on what the participants learned and how they learn. An optional panel discussion followed to learn different strategies for teaching senior citizens. It was determined that senior citizens learn differently than other age ranges. This project aims to improve how we teach senior citizens to detect and avoid electronic fraud. A senior citizen with a better understanding of electronic fraud will be less likely to fall prey in the future.
