Take Action: Prepare Yourself

You’ve Learned. Now It’s Time to Act.

Scammers are adapting faster than ever. But now, so are you.

You’ve just completed the Protect Mom! course—equipping yourself with the knowledge to recognize the warning signs of scams, from AI voice cloning to text message traps. This final step is about putting that knowledge to work—for yourself and your family.

⚠️ Urgent means pause. Urgent messages can be scams in disguise.
If it’s really urgent, it can wait 10 minutes while you verify.
