How It Works

Three clear steps help you slow things down and make a more confident decision.

  1. 1

    Check Something

    Share the message, screenshot, link, email, or phone number that does not feel right.

  2. 2

    Review the Warning Signs

    StopCheck explains possible concerns in plain language, without technical jargon.

  3. 3

    Ask Someone You Trust

    When the risk may be high, involve a family member or friend before taking the next step.

Pressure is a warning sign

Stop. Check. Then act.

Scammers often create urgency. They may pressure you to send money, share verification codes, click a link, or act immediately before you have time to think.

It is always okay to pause, hang up, and check first.

Urgency does not create an obligation.

A real organization will give you time to verify a request using a phone number or website you already know and trust.
