How can I tell if something is a scam?

Common red flags are pressure to act fast, a demand to pay by gift card, wire transfer, crypto or mobile money, promises of guaranteed high returns, and someone you have only met online asking for money. Real banks, tax offices and regulators will not ask for your PIN or password.

How do I use RepeatWatch to learn the warning signs?

A–B loop the FCA tactic videos or the FTC phishing explainer until you can name each red flag. Slow a real victim story to 0.75× to notice the moment pressure started, and save the steps for reporting fraud on keys 1–9 so you can find them fast if you ever need them.
