What you will learn

You will learn to use tools like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini for real life: understanding a confusing letter, planning a trip, checking whether a message is a scam, and writing a note you are proud of. The best way to learn is to try things on questions from your own day.

Scams to watch for in Grand Junction

Scammers target people everywhere, including a community like Grand Junction. These three are among the most common:

  • Fake AI voices. Scammers can copy a voice from a short clip. If a call sounds like someone you know but asks for money, call them back on a number you trust.
  • Grandchild in trouble calls. A caller says a grandchild is in jail or hurt and needs money now. Hang up and call your family member on the number you already have. Agree on a family code word ahead of time.
  • Fake tech support pop-ups. A loud warning on your screen with a phone number to call is a trick. Close the browser, restart the computer and never let a stranger take control of it.

If something happens, report it at ReportFraud.ftc.gov and call the AARP Fraud Watch helpline at 877-908-3360 (free, open to everyone).
