What you'll learn
Twelve months of good sense
Two short lessons a month, in plain language, at your own pace. Each month builds on the last — from spotting today's scams and fraud to protecting your money, your family and your independence.
Scams have affected our founder's older parents and other family members. That personal experience is why the club focuses on recognizing real-life warning signs and understanding how the tricks work — not learning technical jargon.
Month 1
The New Rules of Trust
Why old instincts need updating — how trust is manufactured today, and the simple habits that keep you a step ahead.
Month 2
Emails, Devices and Digital Traps
Spotting fake emails, texts, links and attachments before they cost you — in plain language, no tech background needed.
Month 3
Impersonation and Emotional Manipulation
The grandchild-in-trouble call, the fake bank, the lonely-heart romance — how pressure and emotion are used against you.
Month 4
Protecting Retirement and Benefits
Keeping your pension, Social Security, Medicare and savings safe from the people who target them.
Month 5
