GonePhishing delivers practical education, hands-on training, and community outreach to help people recognize scams, avoid phishing traps, and respond with confidence.

Built for real life

What we do

GonePhishing is built around simple, repeatable habits. We teach people how to spot red flags, verify safely, and take action when something feels off. Our content is designed to be clear for beginners and useful for teams.

Education

Clear, beginner-friendly explanations of how scams work—without the jargon.

  • Phishing basics (email, SMS, phone, websites)
  • Common red flags and manipulation tactics
  • How to verify messages safely
  • What to do next when you’re unsure

Training

Practical, step-by-step training built around real scenarios so you can build muscle memory.

  • Training modules by scam type
  • Real-world examples and lessons learned
  • Quick practice (quizzes + checklists)
  • Guidance you can apply immediately

Outreach

We support community awareness by making training accessible and easy to share.

  • Community education sessions
  • Resources for families and older relatives
  • Materials for small businesses and local groups
  • Scam reporting to help others learn

Our approach

A simple framework that works across scam types:

1
Pause
Urgency is the #1 scam tool.
2
Verify
Use official sites/numbers, not links.
3
Report
Share what happened so others learn.

Respectful reporting

If you share a story or report a scam, it can be anonymized and used for education. Share only what you’re comfortable sharing—our goal is awareness and prevention.

Fastest path

Start with Email, then add SMS and Phone. After that, cover websites/social media and business/vendor fraud.
