Red flag checklists
A short pause can protect a big decision.
Use these simple checklists before you click a link, send money, or share information. No sensitive data required.
Need help choosing what to do?
Use the Before You Act tool if you want a guided pause plan based on the type of message, call, payment, job offer, relationship, investment pitch, support popup, or social profile.
