Exciting Highlights from CSUN, the World’s Largest Assistive Technology Conference.
By Laetitia L. Thompson, Senior Digital Content Editor at the Centre for Accessibility, Australia.
The California State University, Northbridge Centre of Disabilities (CSUN), once again held its annual CSUN Assistive Technology Conference this month in California at the Anaheim Marriott.
As more seniors use technology to shop and sell goods online, it’s important to be aware of the potential for scams. One scam that has recently emerged on Facebook Marketplace is the use of PayID for payment.
PayID is a digital payment system used in Australia, which allows users to link their bank account to a unique identifier such as their phone number or email address. Scammers have been taking advantage of this system by asking buyers to pay through PayID, instead of the usual payment methods such as PayPal or bank transfer.
We would like to say a fond farewell and pay tribute to Jane Chilcott, outgoing CEO of Linkwest with whom we have developed a mutually rewarding partnership over the last few years.
