Don't Take the Bait

A free, plain-English guide to spotting phishing emails, scam texts and fraud phone calls, built for people who are not technically confident. It opens with a dramatised terminal showing an attack succeeding, then takes apart a fake bank email, a fake delivery text and a support-call script: click any flag in a message to read exactly why it gives the game away. An eight-question quiz follows, with three genuine messages on purpose, because teaching people to suspect everything makes them ignore real fraud alerts. A one-page checklist prints on a single sheet. Plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript with no dependencies, no tracking, no cookies and no network calls; it works without JavaScript and respects reduced motion.
