    Scammers win when we stay silent. It's time to speak up — and Keep It Real.

    From deceptive links to convincing deepfakes, we've spoken with survivors who've come across all kinds of scams. The common thread? None of them saw it coming.
    Our videos share raw, revealing accounts of how the scams unfolded, what they wish they knew, and the impact that still lingers. But the story doesn’t end there. At the end of each episode, we deliver a surprise that helps put right what once went wrong — offering survivors a moment of hope and renewal.
    Because when we Keep It Real, we don’t just raise awareness. We help people heal, and we inspire others to stay safer.
