Why do I need to encrypt the text I sent my 78 yr old husband with the pick up orders from Kohls and Pet Supplies Plus? I mean, he gets frustrated enough with technology like email and texting. I cannot imagine him dealing with encryption software.

Let me call or text your 78yr old husband to inform him he's won a $300 gift card to Kohls. We'll need his name, address, birthday and SSN to issue the prize or he can click on a link that will give me backdoor access to his phone so I can get into his email and bank accounts too. Please be careful

Nope. He knows the scams. If he gets an "urgent" email or text to link to a vendor, he skips the link and calls the "source" directly on their public phone number,that's if he doesn't first ask me about it. We don't answer unknown callers and we don't click on links. We call the co directly.
