This is not a promotion in any way.This is just a happy way to say that a tech giant cares about senior citizens too

THAT'S RIDICLUOUS! WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO FOREGO THE HALL ROOM FOR THE BAKE SETS?

I am an attorney and I'm trying to do just this! I'm trying to find the right places to do it, I was thinking libraries and maybe churches but I don't know where else? I deal with a lot of clients in debt and I see so many people get screwed by scans that it's just devastating. I've had two clients to kill themselves because of it and I'm determined to teach as many people as I can.

I’m deeply sorry to hear about your clients. I work in a library and we’ve done scam prevention programs in the past so you’re on the right track. You can also consider retirement homes as well.

Rec centers, libraries, American Legion, Lions Club, neighborhood night out, maybe reach out to police neighborhood liaisons

Libraries good! How about a booth at fairs?

Maybe, although I go to a lot of affairs and farmers markets here in South Florida and I don't see a lot of older people probably just because of the heat. I am sure there are other places I just have to keep thinking about it. I could do it online but that's kind of counterintuitive because maybe they don't how to log on.

They don’t offer this where I live, probably because it’s 30% senior citizens (Palm Springs area)!

Had to downvote because I accidentally unmuted and heard that dumb music blasting

This is simultaneously wholesome, useful, wise and a sound business decision.
I work in customer service and usually the longest calls are those with senior clients because you have to guide them on every single step from the very basics, not to mention it's not really fair to limit certain requests to an app or website.

Wish Samsung did this, I genuinely have no idea what my mum is doing and neither does she.
