Protecting Older People from Scams

Protecting Older People from Scams

Scams can affect anyone—but sadly, older people are often targeted the most. That’s why Derry City and Strabane District Council Age Friendly and PCSP have come together to help protect our older residents with trustworthy information and practical support.

A helpful information leaflet has been created to raise awareness about the most common types of scams—from phone and text scams to online and doorstep fraud. The leaflet also offers simple tips on how to spot a scam, what to do if you suspect one, and important contact numbers if you need help or advice.
Whether for yourself, a neighbour, or a loved one, this resource is here to help you stay safe and informed.

Remember

If something doesn’t feel right—pause, check, and don’t be afraid to say no.
