How Scam Works?
This chat is made up. It shows how the trick usually sounds. It is not a real message. Do not reply, and do not send money.
Demonstration
A call or a chat
Someone saying they are here to help
Scam message
This is urgent and confidential. Do not tell your family. I need the code, or a small payment, to fix it today.
What you might say
I will check this on my own.
Scam message
If you wait, it will be too late. Stay on this chat.
If you are not sure, stop. Call the official number yourself. If money has already gone, call 1930.

The story may be new
Scams change their costume. The pressure is usually the same.
- 02
Look at what they want
Money, a code, a password, a document, or control of your screen are the danger signs.
- 03
You can pause
Hang up. Talk to someone you trust. Use a number from your card, bill, or the official app. Call 1930 if you already paid.
