Real message, or a scam in disguise?

Six messages people actually receive: texts, emails, calls, popups. Ten seconds per round, because that is exactly the hurry scammers count on.

Ten seconds a round

Look, decide, tap Real or Scam before the ring runs out.

Streaks multiply

100 points per catch. Three in a row: x1.5. Five in a row: x2.

You see the tell

After every round, the exact detail that gave it away.

Every scenario is a fictional recreation of scam patterns documented in public FTC and FBI IC3 consumer alerts. Brands are invented. No real person's data appears anywhere.

Scammers only need you to miss once

Banrox watches the other side of this game: your SSN, accounts and identity across the dark web, with alerts the moment something surfaces.
