When Someone Pressures You Online

Recognizing manipulation and coercion — and how to get help.Coming soon

How it works

Every scam uses the same three tells

Learn these three and you’ll spot the trick no matter what costume it’s wearing.

⏱️

It rushes you

A countdown, a threat, “act now.” Real companies never put a timer on your panic.

🔗

Something’s almost right

A link, a handle, or a name that’s off by a character or two. Look slowly and it shows.

🔑

It wants your login or money

Your password on their page, a “fee” to get a prize, or your one-time code. That’s the trap.

Ready? It only takes three minutes.

Start with Module 1, then see how many scams you can spot in the drill.
