Interactive Concept
Dating-sim style scam-awareness trainer
A scenario-driven learning format using realistic dating and messaging situations to teach people how manipulation works and how to respond safely.
Learning outcomes
- Recognize urgency + secrecy + emotional pressure as a scam cluster
- Use a simple verification workflow before money or account action
- Set boundaries around identity data, off-platform links, and payments
Relatable scenario pack
Scenario 1: Fast emotional acceleration
A match quickly pushes for intense trust language and asks to move off-platform in the first 24 hours.
Scenario 2: Emergency transfer request
After a short connection, the person asks for urgent money for transport, phone repair, or legal trouble.
Scenario 3: Account verification trap
A message says your match cannot continue chatting unless you “verify” through a linked login page.
Scenario 4: Voice note pressure
A convincing voice note asks for secrecy and immediate action, but avoids normal verification checks.
Scenario 5: Crypto romance pivot
Conversation shifts into “easy investing” coaching, framed as proof of commitment and shared future plans.
