Scams reach almost everyone now

How you build the reflex

Three simple habits, learned by doing.

  1. Get a practice scam

    Read the message, follow the link, and explore a safe copy of a real scam.

  2. Notice the signs

    See what made it tricky and what to watch for.

  3. Build the reflex

    Each one you practice makes the real scam easier to catch.
