Our Family Anti-Scam Rules

  • We never mind if someone calls us back to verify.
  • We never demand money by surprise phone call or text.
  • We use a family verification question or phrase if we choose.
  • We do not send money because of pressure or secrecy.
  • We independently verify emergencies.
  • We tell each other about suspicious contacts without embarrassment.
  • Nobody gets mocked for almost falling for a scam.
  • If one of us is unsure, we pause.
