What to do right now

    ScamCheck spots common patterns; it cannot see everything, and a message with no known patterns can still be a scam. When in doubt: hang up, wait ten minutes, and call a person you already trust — or your bank on the number printed on your card.

    The plays, decoded.

    Nearly every scam is one of a handful of scripts wearing a new costume. Learn the tells once and you'll hear them forever.

    Play № 1 · Fear

    The government impersonator

    "IRS," "Social Security," "a warrant for your arrest." Real agencies write letters; they don't call demanding same-day payment.

    The tell: a government body that wants gift cards, crypto, or a wire — today.
    Play № 2 · Love

    The relative in trouble

    A "grandchild" in jail or in a crash, a voice that's "hurt so it sounds different," a lawyer who needs money quietly.

    The tell: urgency plus secrecy — "don't tell Mom and Dad." Hang up; call the real person.
    Play № 3 · Authority

    The bank "fraud department"

    They say your account is compromised and your money must move to a "safe account." Banks never ask you to move money to safety.

    The tell: the "safe account" is the scam. Call the number on your card, not the one that called you.
    Play № 4 · Greed

    The prize with a fee

    You've "won" — you just need to pay taxes or a release fee first. Real prizes never cost money to receive.

    The tell: pay-to-collect. The only money moving is yours, outward.
    Play № 5 · Hope

    The guaranteed investment

    A friendly stranger with a trading platform and screenshots of gains. Deposits go in; withdrawals never come out.

    The tell: "guaranteed returns" + crypto + someone you've never met in person.
    Play № 6 · Panic

    The tech-support pop-up

    A frozen screen, a loud warning, a toll-free number. They'll ask to "remote in" — and then into your bank.

    The tell: anyone asking you to install remote-access software. Turn the computer off; nothing is on fire.

    ScamCheck warns you. GuardCircle stops it.

    Inside GuardCircle, this same protection is wired directly to the money: risky payments don't just get a warning — they wait for a family OK before a dollar moves.
