Scam-Proof Audit
The Scam-Proof Audit: find out what fools your group, then fix it.
A working session for churches, schools, senior centers, and small offices. Your group tests real scam messages against a fraud investigator's tools, sees exactly which warning signs they miss, and leaves with a short fix list. Built by a former Wells Fargo financial crimes investigator.
Scam advice is everywhere, and most of it is the same list of tips. Tips do not tell a seniors ministry which text message would have fooled half their room. They do not tell a school office which fake invoice looks real to their staff. Every group has its own blind spots, and the blind spots are where the money goes.
The audit finds the blind spots in your group, in one session, using your group's own answers.
Who it is for
- Churches. Seniors ministries, small groups, and member care teams. Run it as a class night or a Saturday session
- Schools and parent groups. PTAs, counselors, and parent nights. Families get hit from both directions, kids through games and apps, parents through school-themed scams
- Senior centers and libraries. A ready-made program session with printed handouts, run on a projector
- Small offices. Clinics, law offices, realtors, and shops with 5 to 30 people. The session covers the boss email, the fake invoice, and the gift card request, because those are the ones that reach small offices.
How it works
- 1. The group tests real messages. Sample scam texts, emails, and calls go into the Is This a Scam? checker, the tool on this site that reads a message against 12 red flags and explains each one in plain English. The group calls the warning signs before the verdict shows.
- 2. The group takes the quiz. A printed 10-question Spot the Scam quiz, answered individually, scored together. The misses are the findings.
- 3. The group gets its read. A one-page results summary: what the room caught, what fooled them, and the warning signs they were weakest on.
- 4. The group leaves with fixes. A five-item fix list, with setup steps for each: verification callbacks, a family or office code word, account alerts, two-factor authentication, and credit freeze basics. Every participant takes home a one-page family defense plan.
Two ways to run it
The Group Kit, $79. Run it yourself. The kit has the full facilitator guide with the agenda by the minute and the teaching script, the printable quiz pack with the answer key, the results summary and fix list templates, and the family defense plan handout you can print for everyone in the room. If you can run a meeting, you can run this session. Buy it once, run it for your group, run it again for the next one.
Get the Group KitThe Hosted Session, $249. I run it for you, live over video. We set up a short call first so the session fits your group, then I lead the full 75 minutes, work through messages your people have actually received, and answer questions from the casework side. Afterward you get the completed results summary and fix list by email, plus the handout to share with anyone who missed it. To book, use the contact form on this site and put 'Scam-Proof Audit' in the subject.
Book a SessionFAQ
Do we need any special equipment?
A screen or projector with internet access for the checker, and printed quiz packs from the kit. The hosted session runs over video, so the group needs one computer connected to the screen and speakers.
What if our group is not technical?
The session was built for that. The checker reads the message and explains itself in plain English, the quiz is on paper, and the handout is one page. Nobody needs an account or an app.
Can we use messages our members actually received?
Yes, and those are the most useful part. Leave out names, account numbers, and personal details. Never paste a password or an account number into any tool, including the checker.
Is this financial or legal advice?
No. It is education about how scam messages work and what a group can set up to defend itself. Individual situations belong with your bank and, where needed, a lawyer.
Can we run the kit more than once?
Yes. Buy it once and run it for as many groups inside your organization as you need. Please do not resell the kit or post the files publicly.
What happens after a hosted session?
You get the written results summary and fix list within 2 business days, and one follow-up email two weeks later to check which fixes your group finished.
