MEET HEADSUP! IT'S A SCAM

Scam Exposing and Awareness

Hello from HeadsUp! This website has and will bring awareness to all one day. I believe everyone should be educated on scams, how to spot and stop them.

NOW TO THE NOT SO GREAT PART

heads up 1 BANNER.png

Scams will never truly stop; they will most certainly develop and evolve. Scams started out as seemingly now-a-day simple email scams, but back then they were surprising. Just like now the YouTube advertisment scams, Instagram impersonation scams and phone number messaging scams; you know, the one's that say you've got a tax rebate, or your parcel wasn't delivered pay this fee. This will be in the future completely normal and the new form of simple level scams.

​

That being said, any scam is still a scam; simple or small it's still dangerous and should be reported and should be made public and this is the reason for the creation of this website.
