Scam education hub

Knowledge is the only vaccine

Scam syndicates update their scripts constantly. Understanding how each scheme actually works — step by step — is what keeps you and the people you love safe.

Padlock over a credit card and keyboard

Crypto, Forex & Investment Traps

The single costliest scam category worldwide. Victims are shown fake dashboards with growing 'profits' to encourage ever-larger deposits.

Romance Scams

A relationship that feels real — because the scammer is a professional whose full-time job is making it feel real.

Identity Theft & Account Takeover

Your name, your credit, your accounts — used by someone else, often discovered months after the breach.

False Pretence & Impersonation

Fraudsters wearing the costume of authority: banks, government agencies, police, lotteries, lawyers, immigration consultants.

If it just happened — do these six things now

  1. 1

    Call your bank immediately — ask to freeze accounts and attempt a recall of recent transfers

  2. 2

    Change passwords on email, banking and any account sharing those passwords

  3. 3

    Preserve everything: messages, emails, receipts, wallet addresses, phone numbers

  4. 4

    Report to your national fraud centre (Canada: CAFC 1-888-495-8501)

  5. 5

    Place a fraud alert on your credit file if identity details were exposed

  6. 6

    Be wary of 'recovery agents' who contact you afterwards — that's wave two of the scam
