Phishing Academy: Scam Safety

Awareness training game: spot smishing texts, fake emails, spam & fraud DMs

Phishing Academy is a scam awareness training game. A realistic message lands on your screen: a text, an email, a WhatsApp chat or a social media DM, with its sender, subject and body. Spot the tell and decide in seconds: Safe or Scam? Then a reveal panel shows the exact red flags that give it away, or the details that make a genuine message legit. Round after round, spotting fakes stops being a guess and becomes a reflex.

Fraudsters keep getting more convincing: fake delivery texts, bank alerts that ask for a one-time code, prize and job offers, fake tech support warnings, romance and crypto cons, look-alike sender addresses. A list of tips is easy to forget. Practice is what sticks, and that is what this phishing quiz gives you.

HOW A ROUND WORKS
• A message appears the way it really looks: an SMS looks like an SMS, an email shows its sender and subject line
• Judge it Safe or Scam, then read the reveal: the urgency hook, the mismatched link, the domain that is almost right, the request no real company makes
• Each pack mixes real scams with genuinely legit messages, so you learn to tell them apart instead of flagging everything as spam
• Rounds take a few minutes and fit a coffee break

WHAT THIS APP IS, AND IS NOT
This is scam safety training built on authored, fictional example messages. It trains your judgement. It is not a spam filter, a scam detector or an antivirus, it does not scan your inbox or texts, and it never reads your real messages. The banks, stores and services mentioned in example messages are there only to show how impersonation works; the app is not affiliated with any of them.

The interface is available in 10 languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish and Chinese. Practice messages are in English.

Finish Field Basics and you will read the next suspicious text differently. Download Phishing Academy and make spotting scams second nature.
