How it works

Three easy steps, and the participant stays in control the whole time.

1

You enroll

A 60-second form, just their first name, phone number, and your email. No payment, no account.

2

They consent

We send a plain-language invitation. The participant reviews it themselves, then confirms with a one-time code texted from a separate number, so someone just holding the link can't confirm on their behalf.

3

They practice & learn

A realistic simulation plays out, then a gentle debrief explains every red flag they just saw.

Real scripts, played out safely so they're familiar before they're ever real.

🖥️ Tech-support scam
⚠️ Alert: a virus was detected on your computer. Your files will be deleted in 30 minutes. Call support now.
I didn't call anyone about this.
This is urgent. Share your card number so we can secure your device now.
✓ Safe simulation - the fake urgency is the scam.

Tech-support scam

A fake "virus" alert creates panic so you'll pay to fix a problem that doesn't exist.

The red flag: unexpected virus alerts are always a scam.
🏦 Bank fraud alert
🏦 Alert: your account was locked for suspicious activity. Verify your identity now to avoid frozen funds.
Is this really my bank?
Yes - tap the link we sent and confirm your details immediately.
✓ Safe simulation - the "verify now" link is the trap.

Bank fraud alert

A fake "your account is locked" text pushes you to hand over login details under time pressure.

The red flag: banks never demand you tap a link and verify now.
📞 Family emergency
Incoming call - "It's me"
"I'm in trouble and I need money right now. Please don't tell anyone."
✓ Safe simulation - secrecy plus urgent cash is the red flag.

Family emergency

A distressed voice claims to be a relative in trouble, asking for money and secrecy.

The red flag: hang up and call them back on their real number.

Pick one scenario, or let us choose for you.

Why it's safe

This is training, nothing more. Nothing real is ever at risk.

✓
Consent-first

The participant approves personally before any simulation begins.

✓
Realistic, but only a test

The simulation may ask the participant for passwords, account details, or computer access. That's the test, so they can practise spotting the red flags. Anything they say or type that looks sensitive halts the exercise immediately and is discarded.

✓
Nothing real is taken

The simulated scammer asks for these things on purpose. Nothing real is ever taken, stored, or used.

✓
No transcripts stored

We record only categorical outcomes, never the conversation itself.

✓
Opt out anytime

One tap, any time, for any reason.

When they've practiced, they'll know the script, and that's what scammers hate.
