Scam Awareness

A practical, Scripture-aware guide to scam awareness for households and caregivers.

Proverbs 21:512 minutes
01

Why this matters

Use general financial education to plan responsibly, communicate honestly, give generously, and seek qualified advice for individual decisions.

02

Biblical foundation

Read Proverbs 21:5 slowly. Notice what it reveals about God, human dignity, and a faithful response.

03

Practice it

Review one month of income and essential expenses, identify one realistic adjustment, and document who will follow up and when.

04

What to watch for

Avoid secrecy, blame, urgency, and guaranteed-outcome claims. Seek qualified advice for debt, tax, legal, or investment decisions.

05

A focused first step

Scam Awareness: Agree on a safe exit, identify trusted adults and reporting channels, preserve evidence when appropriate, and never blame the person targeted. Choose a specific cue, a two-minute version of the practice, and a simple way to acknowledge completion. At the next family check-in, keep what helped and replace one step that created unnecessary pressure.

06

Reflect together

Which next choice best reflects our responsibilities, values, and actual resources?
