01 / Fraud & scam prevention
A moment to pause. A chance to see more clearly.
A convincing story can make anyone hesitate. We help individuals, families, and organizations understand fraud concerns without judgment or pressure.
What can Scabbard help with?
Fraud prevention starts with understanding a claim, its context, and the warning signs. Scabbard offers education and investigative support to help you evaluate concerns and reduce risk.
Questions worth a closer look.
- A message or caller is creating urgency or asking for an unusual payment.
- You want to help a loved one check an unfamiliar claim.
- Your organization wants to understand fraud warning signs and improve awareness.
Practical help, at your pace.
We can discuss what happened, identify the questions that need checking, and consider whether research or education would be useful. The scope is shaped around your concern.
No investigation can guarantee safety or the recovery of lost funds. If money has already been sent, contact the relevant bank or payment provider promptly; the FTC has guidance organized by payment method.
Choose a starting point
Create space to check.
Pause the conversation. Use independently found contact details to check who is really behind the request.
A few helpful answers
Questions are a good start.
Is being targeted by a scam a sign of poor judgment?
No. Scammers create believable stories, impersonate trusted people, and use urgency to make it harder to check a claim. Pausing and asking for another perspective is a practical response.
Should I wait for an investigator before contacting my bank?
If money was sent or an account may be compromised, contact the bank or payment provider promptly using a number you find independently. The FTC’s recovery guidance explains further steps.
