Editorial Policy

Source-first approach

We prioritise official and reputable sources — government and law enforcement guidance, consumer protection agencies, bank and security warnings, and recognised cybersecurity research — and we link to them where appropriate.

Public-interest purpose

Our purpose is education and harm reduction. We describe scam patterns, red flags, and protective steps so people can avoid and recover from fraud.

No naming private individuals as scammers

We do not name private individuals or companies as scammers unless the claim comes from official public sources or verified enforcement warnings. We focus on patterns, not unsupported accusations.

Review and corrections

• Pages carry a 'last reviewed' date where relevant
• We update content as scams and reporting routes evolve
• We welcome corrections — contact us with details and sources

Educational examples

Example scam messages are sanitized and use placeholders (such as [phone number] and [fake link]). We do not publish real private data.
