Scam and Fraud Protection
Learn how to recognize scams, respond to suspicious messages, and protect your accounts.
Did You Know?
Scammers often pretend to be banks, delivery companies, government agencies, technology support, or family members.
Pressure and urgency are deliberate. A message that demands immediate payment, secrecy, or account access should be checked through a trusted contact method.
Antivirus cannot stop scams that convince someone to send money, share a password, or approve account access.
Who This Helps
This service is for individuals, families, caregivers, and small businesses that want help recognizing phone, email, text, website, and payment scams.
It can help before a loss, after a close call, or whenever you are unsure whether a message or caller is legitimate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I still need scam protection if I already have antivirus?
Yes. Many scams rely on pressure and impersonation instead of malicious software. Antivirus cannot stop you from sending money, sharing information, or approving access in response to a convincing message.
Can you help after I clicked a scam link or gave information to someone?
Yes. We can help assess what happened, secure affected devices and settings, and identify the next steps for passwords and accounts. Virus removal or account security work may also be necessary.
Is this only for seniors?
No. Anyone can be targeted. This service is useful for individuals, families, caregivers, and small businesses that want practical help recognizing and responding to scams.
