Scams change names. The red flags repeat.
The live alert board will focus on concrete behaviors and verifiable reports—not rumors, pile-ons or unsupported accusations against people or businesses.
Grant & Scholarship Scams
Fake award notices, guaranteed funding claims, application-fee traps and impersonation websites.
Government Impersonation
Messages pretending to be agencies, benefits offices, tax authorities or law enforcement.
Phishing, Tech & AI
Suspicious links, account-takeover attempts, fake support, cloned voices/images and credential theft.
Shopping, Coupons & Giveaways
Fake stores, counterfeit promotions, prize scams, lookalike coupon pages and payment traps.
Payment Red Flags
Pressure to pay by gift card, crypto, wire transfer, unusual payment app requests or “refund” overpayments.
Verified alerts will load here.
An alert must have a trustworthy source or direct evidence that can be responsibly described. Tish Finds will explain the behavior to watch for and link to safer verification/reporting resources when available.
Red flags worth stopping for
- Urgency or threats designed to stop you from checking
- Requests for passwords, codes or identity documents
- Upfront fees for jobs, grants or “guaranteed” money
- Payment by gift card, crypto or unusual transfer
- Lookalike domains or altered contact information
- Requests to move off an official platform immediately
Verification routine
- Stop clicking or sending money.
- Open the organization’s official site independently.
- Verify phone numbers and domains.
- Search trusted reporting or agency sources.
- Preserve screenshots/messages without sharing sensitive data publicly.
What Tish Finds will not do
We will not label a person or business a scammer based only on a social-media claim. Alerts should describe documented conduct, known impersonation patterns or verified agency warnings.
Never submit passwords, one-time codes, Social Security numbers, banking credentials or identity documents through a public lead form.
