Scam Awareness scams
The big picture: how fraud is changing, who is targeted, and the habits that protect a whole household. There are 2 scam awareness guides on Scam Wise.
This small topic stands back from the individual cons. Its guides look at the direction fraud is heading, including artificial intelligence that copies a voice from a short clip, fake videos and celebrity endorsements that make an offer look real, and chatbots that hold friendly conversations with many people at once. It is written for parents, grandparents and educators, and for anyone building habits that protect more than one person. Looking Ahead - Emerging Scams and Final Fraud-Fighting Tips sets out what is coming next, and Sextortion Scams Targeting Teens covers the threats aimed at young people along with the support that helps them.
If you take one habit from this section, make it slowing down. Urgency is the hallmark of a scam, so treat any demand to act right now as the reason to stop and check.
