A project with a practical purpose.

Why we made it

Online safety information can feel overwhelming, especially when you are unsure where to start. Our project brings together plain-language explanations, fictional examples and links to established services.

The website complements our group’s pamphlet, providing room to explore common scams and phishing tactics in more detail. It is intended for adults of different ages and levels of digital confidence, including family members helping someone else.

What you’ll find here

• Common scam tactics and warning signs, explained through examples.
• Practical habits for protecting accounts, devices and personal information.
• External pathways for reporting, recovery and further learning.

Our research approach

The team explored existing scam-awareness resources, communication needs and ways to connect a pamphlet with more detailed online learning. Public guidance is checked against reputable sources and linked alongside the relevant content.

The website does not scan messages, evaluate live links or certify businesses. Examples are fictional and cannot cover every scam. No funding, partnership or service delivery is claimed.

Privacy and accessibility

This version has no accounts, submission forms or analytics added by the project. Checklist selections stay in the page and are not stored by us. The hosting provider may process technical connection data under its own policies.

We use keyboard-accessible links, clear headings, responsive layouts and text explanations alongside graphics. External links open in the same tab so you remain in control.

Graphics and credits

Our visual graphics use free open-source Lucide icons and CSS illustrations. We do not display third-party service logos as endorsements.
