Training others to avoid online scams involves focusing on human behavior rather than technical jargon. Encourage a healthy skepticism towards unexpected emails and attachments, and emphasize the importance of verifying sources before taking action.

If you receive a suspicious email, trust your instincts. Avoid clicking on any links or opening attachments. Instead, verify the sender's identity and consider using tools like Virus Total to check attachments for potential threats.

You may not need to pay for security software. Most built-in protections on your devices are sufficient for personal use. Third-party software often provides only marginal additional protection, so it's wise to evaluate your needs before making a purchase.
