Think of it like a stop sign for suspicious messages.

Prominent warnings, readable text, and understandable reasons

No computer jargon. We explain what's wrong in simple, understandable terms.

Optional alerts to family members so they can help when needed.

Remember these critical rules to avoid being scammed

Real companies never ask for iTunes, Google Play, or Amazon gift cards for payment or refunds.

If someone claims to be from your bank, hang up and call the number on the back of your card.

Scammers create urgency. Real problems don't require immediate action without verification.

No legitimate company will ask to "fix" your computer by taking control of it.
