Printable handout

Before you click, do these three things.

A one-page plain-English handout for senior centers, libraries, councils on aging, local newsletters, and family resource tables.

Plain-English tech safety

Before you click

If a message, pop-up, or call makes you feel rushed, pause and use a safer path.

1

Pause before you tap.

Urgent messages are designed to make you move fast. If a text, email, pop-up, or call says something bad will happen right away, slow down first.

2

Check from a place you already trust.

Open the real app, type the official website yourself, or use a phone number from a card, bill, or saved contact. Do not use the link or phone number inside the warning.

3

Ask before sharing anything private.

Do not share passwords, one-time codes, banking details, full card numbers, Social Security numbers, or remote access with someone who contacted you.

Never share

Passwords, one-time codes, banking details, full card numbers, Social Security numbers, or remote access.

Why this helps inbound

Give partners something they can use without selling for us.

Senior centers and libraries are more likely to share a practical handout than a subscription pitch. The handout creates a helpful first touch, and the page gives interested families a path to Lumaneta, the newsletter, and parent setup.

  • Print it for a lobby or resource table.
  • Link it from a local newsletter.
  • Use it after scam-awareness or digital-literacy classes.
  • Forward it to adult children helping a parent.

Use it this week

Short blurb for newsletters or resource pages.

Before you click a surprising text, email, pop-up, or account warning, pause and check from a place you already trust. Lumaneta has a free plain-English handout you can print or share: lumaneta.com/resources/tech-safety-handout.

Warning signs

Use the handout when someone sees one of these.

  • A message says your account, package, computer, or payment is in trouble.
  • A pop-up says to call a number to remove a virus.
  • A text asks you to reply with a code, card number, or login.
  • A caller wants you to install remote-access software.
  • The sender says not to tell anyone or to act right now.

Print it, share it, or ask for a local blurb.

The first goal is to help someone pause safely. The second is to make Lumaneta the place families remember when the next confusing screen shows up.
