Scam prevention center

Scams change their story, but many reuse the same pressure techniques: urgency, impersonation, suspicious links, unusual payments and requests for credentials or codes. These guides explain the common patterns and the safest way to verify a message without trusting the message itself.

Use the situation, not one signal, to choose a guide

Start with the scenario that matches the message: a delivery fee, bank alert, account warning, job offer, marketplace payment or investment promise. Each guide separates technical link evidence from the sender's story and lists an independent verification route.

No clean URL result proves that a payment request, recruiter, seller or investment is genuine. When money, credentials, codes or remote access are involved, stop and contact the organization through its official app, saved number or known website.
