Scam drill for your family

Schools run fire drills. Run a scam drill. Send someone you love a safe fake scam text. If they tap the link, they land on a kind page that says "this was a drill" and shows them what gave it away. Nothing is taken, nothing is paid.

1First, your guess

Think of the person you'll send it to. Would they tap the link?

2Set up the drill

Who is it for?
Which scam?
Message language

3Send it

Send it from your own number, so they can call you. If they haven't tapped in a day, tell them anyway: "I sent you a test scam today. Did you notice?" The talk is the point.

This is exactly what they'll see. No real company is named.

Do it kindly

It's a lesson, not a prank

Don't laugh at anyone who taps. Scammers fool doctors, bankers and engineers. Most people tap at least once.

Only people you know

Send it to family and close friends who will know it was you. Never send it to strangers or groups.

Then talk

Agree on one family rule: "If a message asks for money or a code, call me first."

These messages name no real bank, courier or shop. The link always opens a page on Jarreb! that explains the drill. It asks for nothing. We only record that a drill link was opened (a random code), never who sent it, who received it, or any name. Scam tricks are based on public warnings from UAE police and the UAE Cyber Security Council. Report real scams through your police app or ecrime.ae.
