How it works

  1. Find the chapter that matches your situation.
  2. Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or Gemini.
  3. Fill in the brackets with your own details, then read the answer.
  4. For anything important, check the answer with the right professional or an official source.

Never type your Social Security number, bank account numbers, passwords, or Medicare ID into an AI tool. The guide shows you how to describe your situation in general terms instead.

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to paste a scam message into AI?

Yes. The pasted text cannot hurt you. The danger is clicking links, opening attachments, or calling numbers in the original message.

Does AI replace reporting a scam?

No. The guide points you to report fraud to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov and to local law enforcement, and to verify through official channels before acting.

What format is the guide?

A PDF that opens on a phone, tablet, or computer. No special app is needed.

How do I get it after I buy?

Gumroad emails you a download link as soon as payment goes through.
