WackyCoder™ — Bergen County Division of Senior Services United
This confidence-building workshop teaches seniors to recognize scams, use A.I. as a checking aid, verify suspicious claims independently, and report fraud.
Workshop flow
- Welcome and scam icebreaker
- Meet your A.I. assistant
- Scam or Safe? challenge
- Hands-on suspicious-message practice
- Deepfake and voice-clone awareness
- Passwords, banking, Medicare, romance, shopping, and tech-support scams
- Reporting fraud
Golden rule
STOP → THINK → VERIFY. Never send money, gift cards, passwords, or one-time codes because someone pressures you to act immediately.
Key takeaway: A.I. can help you investigate, but verification should come from official sources and trusted contacts.
