Summary
Chris Parker: Privacy Without Paranoia — Stay One Step Ahead of Scammers
The Not Old Better Show, Technology Interview Series
If someone says "Don't tell anyone" or "Read me that code," the safest move is to pause. 🚨
This week on The Not Old Better Show, we talk with Chris Parker—founder of WhatIsMyIPAddress.com and host of the Easy Prey podcast—about privacy without paranoia for the 50+ community (and for the families who look out for them). 🔒📱👵🧓
A few takeaways worth sharing at the kitchen table:
✅ Data isn't just "marketing"—it can become access
✅ A simple public / private / secret test for what you share
✅ The 10‑second pause that breaks urgency traps
If you help a parent with banking, set up logins for a loved one, or manage accounts for a small group or nonprofit, this episode gives clear language and practical habits—without turning life into a tech project. ❤️
