Help people pause before a scam becomes a loss.
This shareable toolkit gives families, educators, creators, and community groups one calm reminder to use before clicking, paying, replying, or sharing a verification code.
Open the free global checker →The five-step reminder
1. Pause
Urgency, threats, countdowns, and emotional pressure are reasons to slow down, not reasons to act faster.
2. Do not use the message to verify itself
Do not call the supplied number, open the supplied link, or reply to ask whether the message is real.
3. Verify independently
Open the official app or type the known website yourself. Use a phone number, statement, or contact route you already trust.
4. Protect codes and payments
Never share a verification code, password, full payment detail, wallet key, or remote-access approval because someone asked unexpectedly.
5. Get the right help
If money, an account, identity, or a device may be at risk, contact the bank, provider, platform, or official reporting channel directly.
Copy this short safety reminder
Before you click or pay:
Pause. Do not use the message’s link or phone number to verify it. Contact the organization through an official route you find independently. Never share a password or verification code. If money or account access is at risk, contact the bank or provider now.

Share the reminder as text or send this page. It is safer to share a public guide than to forward a private message containing someone’s personal details.
Ways a community can use it
Schools and educators
Use the five steps as a short digital-safety discussion, then point learners to a focused guide for a suspicious text, website, job offer, or AI voice request.
Creators and moderators
Link to a public first check instead of asking followers to post private screenshots. Encourage redaction and independent verification.
Support and community groups
Use the recovery and reporting guides when someone already clicked, paid, shared information, or needs an official reporting route.
