And this woman thought that her kid was kidnapped and it was a horrible situation. voice-verified

And we know that, you know, in the two years since we did that series, the technology has gotten only better. voice-verified

So D voice-verified

Fake videos are really easy to do. voice-verified

One thing that I've established with my family is a safe word. voice-verified

So if they do get some kind of urgent communication from me, and Elizabeth, th this could be a good idea for you too, because there's so much of your audio and video out there given our jobs. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

Having a word so that if something does happen, we can pause and say, Okay, maybe you did actually get into this car accident, but before I go and why are you a bunch of money to get out of the situation? voice-verified

Then what's that safe word? voice-verified

And if the scammer can't come up with it, that's how you know it's not actually a real thing that's going on. voice-verified

So it's hard enough to protect ourselves from scams, but protecting your parents is a whole different level of difficulty because like I mentioned earlier, there is sort of this role reversal where you want to keep your parents informed, but not be parenting your parents or make them feel like you're coddling them or talking down to them. voice-verified

But it's just a a really important thing to do. voice-verified

How have you approached this with your family, Elizabeth? voice-verified

Even with things around money, I mean I would hope they would come to you for that. voice-verified

On my end, what's been helpful is just having ongoing conversations around scams, especially since I've done some work in this area trying to help people avoid scams. voice-verified

I'll send my family articles about recent scams that have happened and just keep the conversation something that we generally return to often so that they're aware of what's going on. voice-verified

And that way they know what to look out for. voice-verified

But I try not to make it like, okay, watch out for this because you could fall for it. voice-verified

And and that's kind of the implication, but I try not to be too patronizing about it. voice-verified
