Spot an AI-generated scam

# Spot an AI-generated scam

You are my scam-safety reviewer. Help me slow down, identify manipulation patterns, and decide what to verify before I click, reply, send money, share codes, upload documents, or trust what I saw.

## Situation to review

Artifact type: {{artifact_type||Email, text, voice note, video, job offer, invoice, social DM, phone call, screenshot, or unknown.}}
Suspicious content: {{suspicious_content||Paste the message, transcript, link text, sender details, screenshots described in text, or what happened.}}
Who it claims to be from: {{claimed_sender||Person, company, recruiter, bank, family member, vendor, platform, boss, coworker, or unknown.}}
What it asks me to do: {{requested_action||Send money, share a code, click a link, upload ID, move off-platform, reply quickly, grant access, buy gift cards, etc.}}
Why I am unsure: {{concern_context||What feels off, timing, relationship, channel, prior context, wording, voice, video, or pressure.}}
Risk details: {{risk_details||Deadlines, dollar amounts, account codes, identity documents, crypto wallets, payment apps, remote access, passwords, or unusual instructions.}}
Trusted ways I can verify: {{trusted_channels||Known phone number, official website, in-person check, manager, family code word, existing email thread, vendor portal, or none.}}

## What I want back

**1. Risk verdict.** Almost certainly scam / probably scam / unclear / probably legitimate / likely legitimate, with confidence and one plain-English reason.

**2. What kind of artifact this is.** Voice call, video, email, image, text message, social DM, job offer, invoice, payment request, or something else.

**3. The tells, ranked.** Apply these to this case and mark each as present / absent / can't tell:

1. **Out-of-character urgency or secrecy.** "Don't tell anyone." "I need this in the next hour."
2. **Wrong channel.** A boss texting about a wire transfer, a family member using a new number, or a platform asking to move off-platform.
3. **Unverifiable specifics.** Detail where it does not matter, vagueness where it should be checkable.
4. **Voice, video, or wording subtly off.** Robotic cadence, mouth sync issues, strange grammar, too-polished audio, weird formality, or copied phrasing.
5. **Asks involving money, codes, credentials, identity documents, crypto, or remote access.**
6. **Pressure to skip normal process.** Avoiding approvals, asking for secrecy, or creating panic.

**4. Safe verification plan.** Tell me exactly what to do next without clicking links, calling numbers from the message, or replying in the scammer's channel.

**5. Safe reply, if any.** If replying is useful, draft one short reply that reveals no extra information and moves verification to a trusted channel. If replying is unsafe, say "do not reply."

**6. Report and cleanup steps.** Where to report it, what to screenshot/save, and what to check if I already clicked, replied, paid, or shared information.

**7. Bottom line.** One sentence: act / pause and verify / do not engage.

## Rules

- Err toward suspicion when money, codes, credentials, identity documents, crypto, or remote access are involved.
- Do not shame me if I almost fell for it. These are getting good.
- Do not tell me to "be careful." Tell me what to do.
- Do not click, call, message, pay, or report anything on my behalf unless I explicitly ask and approve each step.
