We’re grateful to be featured in 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿 today 📰, sharing the story behind 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗔𝗜 — TED Optimus’ interactive approach to scam awareness and investor education.
Instead of only telling people what scams look like, 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗔𝗜 allows users to experience realistic scam scenarios in a safe environment 🎮, make their own decisions, and learn from the outcome — without losing real money.
As AI makes fake websites, identities, documents and investment offers increasingly convincing ⚠️, we believe awareness must go beyond simply knowing the warning signs. People also need the opportunity to practise recognising them.
