For each iteration of the Scam Quiz project, I began with extensive research into real-life scams—examining how they’re structured, the language they use, and how convincingly they mimic legitimate communications. Scammers are constantly evolving their tactics, making it crucial to understand the subtle differences between real inquiries and fraudulent attempts. My goal was to create fabricated assets and interfaces that were as realistic as possible, ensuring that anyone who engaged with these quizzes could walk away with a stronger ability to spot red flags in their own daily interactions. Using my research, I meticulously designed and animated fake messages across various mediums—text messages, emails, and physical mail—to replicate the look and feel of actual scams. Every detail, from formatting and sender information to the wording and sense of urgency often used by scammers, was carefully crafted to be believable while still offering a teachable moment. While I strived for accuracy in portraying these scams, I recognize that new variations are always emerging, and some will still manage to fool people. The project ultimately serves as an accessible and engaging resource, helping viewers sharpen their awareness and skepticism when encountering potential scams in the real world.
