Why practice beats warnings
Scam messages work because they arrive while you are distracted. A warning you read last month rarely surfaces in that moment; a pattern you have sorted fifty times does. These games are deliberately short so you can run one on a coffee break and keep the reflex sharp.
Play with family too. The people most often targeted — parents, grandparents, teenagers selling on marketplaces — get more from three minutes of practice than from any lecture. When something real lands, use the scam text checker for a second opinion.
