Egidio on social media
We don't post the same thing everywhere. Each account has a specific purpose: seeing real scams, following what's circulating right now, or understanding the underlying mechanics. Pick the one that matches what you're looking for.
Scams, filmed.
Real attacks captured on an actual phone: the call, the text that follows, the message that continues on WhatsApp. No reenactment, no actors. What it actually looks like when a scam switches channels.
Recognize it before it works on you.
Manipulation mechanisms broken down one by one: manufactured urgency, borrowed authority, a fabricated bond. A trap message, and what should have raised a flag.
What's circulating right now.
Newly spotted scams, impersonated brands of the moment, active SMS waves. Short, dated, sourced.
The substance, and the method.
Fraud trend analysis, detection methodology, and the questions raised by protection without surveillance. For anyone interested in the topic beyond practical tips.
We're there too, now.
Egidio's official page on Facebook. Content is being built there gradually, the same way it is on the other accounts.
What you'll find there, and where it comes from
These accounts aren't a separate showcase from the rest of the site. They distribute the same work published here, in a shorter format:
- The Threat Laboratory — ongoing observation of scam typologies, country by country, with sources.
- The Grammar of Manipulation — the eight mechanisms that recur in nearly every scam, named and documented.
- One Scam, Three Channels — real captures of attacks that move from a call to a text to a messaging app.
- The gallery — authentic app screenshots, never retouched.
Report a scam instead of just telling us about it
If you've received something suspicious, the most useful thing isn't to message us about it privately — it's to report it. Validated reports feed the public entries of our scam research, which then help everyone else.
