It teaches the small set of red flags and habits that defeat nearly every scam, old or new, then gives a step-by-step emergency playbook for what to do if one gets through, and how to avoid the cruel 'recovery' scams that hunt people already hit.

  • 13 chapters across three parts, plus a reporting directory
  • The universal red flags and habits that beat almost every scam
  • A step-by-step emergency playbook for after you've been scammed
  • A Spot-the-Scam drill, scripts, and checklists you can keep by the phone
  • Glossary, plus research notes with dated, named sources

How it is written

Educational only, not legal, financial, or cybersecurity advice, and not a substitute for your bank, the police, or an official fraud service. It avoids invented statistics and asks you to confirm current figures and reporting channels, which differ by country and change. In an emergency, contact your bank and the authorities immediately, using details you look up yourself.
