Recognizing a scam when it shows up on your phone takes practice. We've built an interactive tool that lets you chat with an AI-powered scammer in a safe environment. After each message, the tool highlights the red flags you need to watch out for in real life.
Our learning tools
Interactive tools that teach digital safety through practice, not just information.
Why we build tools
Interactive scam recognition simulator
Try the simulator
The learning tool is available to try online. Please note that this tool is still in active development, and you may encounter occasional stability issues or changes as we continue to improve the scenarios based on community feedback.
Launch SimulatorOur tool runs simulated scenarios based on common fraud attempts in our community. You can practice with realistic SMS conversations claiming to be from Canada Post or a bank. We offer a live, bidirectional voice call where an AI scammer tries to pressure you into paying fake tax debts. You can also try spotting fake landlords in a mock Facebook Marketplace chat, or navigate a simulated WhatsApp conversation with a fraudulent immigration consultant.
It's designed for workshops: a facilitator projects it on a screen and the whole room works through examples together. For participants who want to try it themselves, we also set up tablet stations with one-on-one support.
What's next
We're continuing to improve our scenarios based on what we learn in workshops. Every session teaches us what examples resonate, what confuses people, and what they most need to practise.
We have plans to expand into more topics, including investment fraud and tech support scams. If you have ideas or want to help us build more tools, get in touch.
