WHY THESE SCAMS WORK

Different stories. Repeated pressure tactics.

A delivery text, a fake bank alert, and a government impersonation can look completely different. But they often rely on the same psychological mechanisms. Learning those mechanisms makes new scams easier to recognize.

HELP BUILD THE DEFENSE

Protection gets stronger when different kinds of people connect.

Scams move across families, banks, platforms, technologies, and communities. Better defense needs the same kind of network. Fraud professionals, researchers, psychologists, educators, builders, institutions, and people with lived experience are welcome.hello@scanscam.ca
