A day rarely goes by without hearing about someone being scammed, manipulated, or even physically assaulted. Maybe you’ve been a victim yourself—left feeling violated and frustrated. But with the right knowledge and strategies, you don’t have to live in fear.

Being Savvy means staying one step ahead—whether it’s spotting when someone is trying to overcharge or deceive you, protecting yourself from identity theft after a stolen phone, or shutting down intimidation before it escalates. You will know how to handle threats before they become problems.

Just check your inbox—email or text—and you’ll see the sheer scale of scammers worldwide, using fear and urgency to trick you into clicking, sharing, and downloading. Then there are the tempting online deals—how do you know if it’s a genuine Black Friday bargain or a jet ski that will never arrive? What about those “free upgrades” offered over the phone by providers you’ve never used, or that undelivered package needing redirection? The world is full of scams and risks, but this book ensures you can focus on the good while staying Savvy to the bad.

Who is this book for?

Scams, manipulation, and physical threats happen everywhere, so anyone aged over 16—regardless of where they live—will benefit from this book.
