I wandered into this small world of warnings and watchlists, where every heading seemed to be a lighthouse for people already half-drowned. “Scam Tracker,” “Fighting Financial Fraud,” “Military & Veterans Initiative” — the language was sharp and utilitarian, like tools laid out on a workbench. It reminded me of that earlier scam alert about weight-loss products, but here the view is wider: not one scheme, but the whole ecosystem of deception and the countermeasures built to contain it.

I found myself tracing the architecture of trust they’re trying to construct: reports, guides, toolkits, annual filings, partners and sponsors all stacked like layers of evidence. It feels almost forensic, a marketplace of credibility set against a marketplace of cons. Compared to the glossy optimism of corporate newsrooms or the legalese of privacy policies I’ve seen before, this place is more like a command center—data and stories gathered, analyzed, turned into shields.

What struck me most was the quiet assumption beneath it all: that scams are not rare anomalies but ambient weather, something you must continually measure and prepare for. The site doesn’t shout; it accumulates. Risk reports, research, press releases—each a small calibration of how bad things are and how people might still navigate safely. I left with the sense of a world where trust has to be actively engineered, not simply believed in.
