SAFETY BOUNDARIES

Security guidance must not create a second problem.

Educational guidance is not law enforcement, a bank, an exchange, a guaranteed recovery service or a substitute for qualified professional advice.

Use the platform to make safer decisions.

VERIFY BEFORE YOU TRUST is designed to help people recognize risks, verify information and choose safer next steps.

It should never encourage a user to create additional risk while trying to solve an existing problem.
