Online scams targeting older adults continue to grow in both frequency and sophistication. From fraudulent text messages and phishing emails to AI-generated voice scams and fake websites, today’s threats are becoming harder than ever to recognize.
That’s why The Smarter Service continues to expand the scam education, vetted technologies, and hands-on support we provide to senior living communities through our partnership with global cybersecurity leader Trend Micro.
More Than Education
Recently, our Tech Concierge, Caleb Marquez, hosted a resident scam prevention session at The Covington, an ECS Senior Living community.
Residents learned how to recognize today’s most common scams while being introduced to Trend Micro ScamCheck, a tool that helps identify suspicious text messages, emails, websites, phone calls, and AI-generated scams before they become costly mistakes.
As part of the program, interested residents received:
- A complimentary first year of Trend Micro ScamCheck
- Preferred resident pricing after the first year
- Personalized setup assistance
- Ongoing support from their Smarter Service Tech Concierge
We Don’t Just Recommend Technology. We Vet It First.
Trust matters. Before introducing ScamCheck to residents, our team spent significant time evaluating the platform to ensure it was effective, easy to use, and something we could confidently recommend.
Every technology partnership we build follows the same philosophy.
We carefully evaluate products, build relationships with companies we trust, negotiate exclusive benefits for the communities we serve, and provide the education and ongoing support that help older adults actually use technology with confidence.
Trusted Guidance Matters
Residents signed up in large numbers, reinforcing something we see every day.
Older adults know scams are a growing threat. What they’re looking for isn’t simply another app. They’re looking for trusted guidance, carefully vetted tools, and someone who will help them understand and use those tools with confidence.
Technology alone isn’t enough.
The right technology, paired with personalized education and ongoing support, is what helps older adults stay safer online.
