Senior Online Safety - Spokesman Review

Senior Online Safety’s Christopher Burgess is featured in a short piece on avoiding being scammed, which was drawn from the presentation made by Burgess at the AARP Scam Jam event. Boomer U feature from the Spokesman Review, highlights that con-artists are not just targeting the stereotypical old lady at home, rather any of us could fall victim to being scammed.

Excerpt:

Con artists aren’t just targeting the stereotypical old lady at home. It happened just last week to the wife of one of the nation’s experts on online safety – a man who literally locks his laptop to the hotel toilet when he travels so it and his information isn’t stolen and sold. “My laptop is chained in my (car) trunk right now,” Christopher Burgess said Tuesday after speaking at the AARP and Washington Attorney General’s “scam jam” conference in the Spokane Valley. Burgess, retired from the CIA, is the co-founder of the startup online security company Prevendra in Woodinville, Washington.
