Previously, Walter had gotten a phone call from a “security company” claiming that his computer was hacked, exposing his banking info and social security information. The caller provided “proof” that seemed very real, and told him that he urgently needed an anti-hacking firewall costing thousands of dollars. 

That combination of fear and urgency had the desired effect. Walter paid several thousand dollars for software that promised to protect his privacy. When it happened the second time, Walter was desperate for help. I explained that unfortunately, he had been taken in by the all-too-common “tech support scam” that often preys on seniors, and gave him my best advice.

Walter knows now that he was gullible and naive. And he wanted me to share this story as a warning to other AskBob readers. 

But it made me wonder… 

What avoidable privacy mistakes did Walter make that allowed this to happen?  And what about you?  As I mentioned in yesterday’s email, YOU might be the biggest threat to your own personal privacy.

My new ebook Who’s Watching You on the Web? reveals the hidden threats that could compromise your personal information—and your peace of mind.  This essential ebook is your guide to:

• Understanding digital surveillance: Learn how your everyday online activities leave a trail for others to follow.
• Protecting your data: Discover practical tips and tools to safeguard your private information from hackers and snoopers.
• Regaining control of your online presence: Take actionable steps to minimize your digital footprint.

If you’re concerned about hackers, identity theft, targeted ads, or protecting your family online, this book delivers practical solutions in an easy-to-read format. Here’s a sample of what you’ll learn:

• What does the Internet know about you (that you thought was private)?
• What mistakes are you making that expose the privacy of yourself and your family?
• Who can see your email? (and how to stop them)
• Is it possible to be anonymous online?

Walter now has the knowledge to stay a step ahead of the bad guys, and you can, too. The expert tips I share in Who’s Watching You on the Web? make it simple to safeguard your digital life without being tech-savvy.
