A free, plain-English paper for households that would rather understand technology than be managed by it: the scams circulating right now and how to spot them, one small habit that makes a home safer, and the bright side — what technology is quietly doing well.
Your name and email are all it takes. The two questions after that help me write for the people actually reading.
The first edition arrives Friday, October 2, from brandon@meridiantechcare.com. Until then, here is the one page every Meridian household keeps by the telephone — the four-step habit that takes away a scammer’s favorite weapon: urgency.
Stop before doing anything. Urgency is the warning sign — the more pressure you feel, the more reason to slow down.
Don’t click, pay, or share. Nothing genuine ever has to happen instantly.
Confirm through a trusted channel you already know — the number on your card, the contact already in your phone — never the one they gave you.
Only proceed once you’ve confirmed, independently, that it’s genuinely safe. If anything still feels off, it can wait.
No exceptions — it applies to Meridian too. · The full page
