My S.A.F.E.™ Plan
Fill this in on a calm day. It saves on this device only — then print it and keep it somewhere locked.
Three rules, and they matter
- Only the last four digits of any account. Never the whole number.
- Never write a PIN, a password, or the three digits from the back of a card.
- Store it locked. Tell one person where it is.
S.A.F.E. — before you click, pay, reply, scan, or share
S — Slow Down. Pressure is the trick. Nothing real expires in two minutes.
A — Ask Questions. Why me? Why now? Why this way of paying?
F — Find Another Way to Verify. Hang up. Open the app yourself. Call the number on your card.
E — Exit If Unsure. You never have to prove it is a scam. Unsure is enough.
