Explore Online Shopping Safety and Smarts for FREE

With the holidays upon us, online shopping ramps up and so do the tactics scammers use to steal your hard-earned money! Scammers steal billions of dollars from unsuspecting consumers every year. The impact on victims and their families can be financially and emotionally devastating, especially for older Americans.

Join us on December 12 (6-7 pm) for a FREE online event about how to spot and stop online shopping scams. This is an OATS (Older Adults Technology Services) program, an affiliate of AARP focused on using technology as a tool to change the way people age.

Online shopping lets you buy products on the internet from your computer and have them shipped to your home or anywhere! Online stores often have larger inventories and lower prices, so you can quickly find the best deal.

This lecture will provide a general introduction to shopping online using the popular website Amazon.com. You’ll learn how to search for products, make comparisons, and add items to an online shopping cart.
