WHY ARE YOU MESSING WITH ME?: Senior Survival Guide on Fraud, Privacy, and Security

Growing older is usually synonymous with growing wealthier and wiser. If true, then why do so many seniors today feel increasingly vulnerable to fraud schemes as well as violations of their privacy and security? Whether perceived or experienced, fear of becoming a victim prevents many of them from living life to the fullest. In “Why Are You Messing With Me?”, author Peter Warmka goes straight to the most significant security issues of concern to older adults. These include privacy, identity theft, security at home and on the street, telephone and computer security, romance, investment, impersonation and contractor scams, mental and physical health security, and overseas travel security. He presents each of these issues with examples of how these threats can manifest. More importantly, he clearly outlines best practices which the reader can immediately begin to implement in their daily lives. Peter’s expertise is based upon over three decades of experience with security issues, first as an overseas intelligence officer with the CIA followed by his consultancy practice focused on security awareness training and security advisory services for individuals and corporations. There is no other resource available today which encompasses practically all security threats faced by seniors. Whether a resource for you or a loved one, may the advice provided in this book help empower the reader to enjoy their life to its fullest.
