🚩 Scam or Safe? ✅

How to play

A real-looking message appears — a text, an email, a phone call, even an AI chatbot. You decide: Scam or Safe? Then see the answer, the warning signs, and exactly what to do if it ever happens to you. Some messages here are based on real 2026 Bay Area cases — and some are perfectly safe, because good judgment means saying yes to the real ones too.

Messages are shuffled each time. No sign-up, nothing to install — it's just practice.

👥 Playing in a group or class?

• Vote first, click second. Get a show of hands before pressing a button — committing to an answer makes the reveal stick.
• Ask "what gave it away?" before revealing. Let people name the warning signs themselves.
• Not everything is a scam. The goal is calm judgment, not fear of the phone.
• The three red flags that never change: urgency, secrecy, and unusual payment. AI made grammar and voices perfect — these three still can't hide.
