Common questions

What should I do right now?

Stop sending any money or details, disconnect the device if it may be compromised, and change your important passwords from a different, trusted device. Then get the device checked. There's a step-by-step guide in the tips section, and we can help work through it with you.

Will you judge me for falling for it?

Never. Modern scams are convincing and they catch careful, sensible people too. The focus is on sorting it out and getting you secure again.

Can you help me stop it happening again?

Yes. Part of the service is setting up stronger protection — a password manager, two-factor authentication and a few simple habits.
