How Our Technicians Use Scam Safety Checklists

See how consistent scam safety checklists help technicians work carefully, explain each step and avoid missing important customer safety actions.

Your IT & Tech Mates technician guiding a customer through a consistent scam safety checklist with clear checks, documentation and trusted local support.
Customer safety promise: No passwords or one-time codes. Evidence is considered before deletion. Important actions are explained before they are performed.

A consistent starting point

Technicians begin with immediate safety, customer consent and a clear understanding of the incident.

Checks that match the incident

Relevant device, account, email, remote-access, payment and evidence checks are used. Customers are not pushed into unnecessary work.

Customer approval remains central

The technician explains important actions before carrying them out. Destructive actions, resets and deletions are not automatic first steps.

Results are recorded clearly

Completed checks, actions and remaining concerns are documented so the customer can understand what happened and what to do next.

Free checks before booking

Use these free checks for a first review. They can help you slow down, identify warning signs and prepare useful details before deciding whether hands-on support is needed.
