Scam of the Week
The “grandkid in trouble” phone call
“Grandma, it’s me. I’m in trouble and I need money. Please don’t tell Mom.”
The tell: a rush plus a secret. Hang up and call your grandchild on the number you already have.
How every test runs
The same five steps for every product, so you can compare one review with another.
- Buy it. Our own card, the plan a family would pick.
- Set it up. On ordinary phones and laptops, recorded start to finish.
- Try to beat it. Known workarounds and harmless industry test files. Never real malware.
- Live with it. Normal family use for the length of the test, logged by date.
- Check back. Prices re-checked monthly. Big product changes get a dated update.
