Scam Recovery & Personal Safety Pack — 4 Cybersecurity Workbooks | Printable PDF Bundle

Scam Recovery & Personal Safety Pack: 4 Printable Workbooks for the Hardest Moments

Going through something hard?

Someone opened accounts in your name. You sent money to a person you trusted, and then they disappeared. A parent keeps getting "urgent" calls about a grandchild in trouble. Someone seems to know where you've been and what you've said in private. Every call to a bank or credit bureau blurs into the next, and you're not sure who to call first.

These situations are stressful and often embarrassing, and they aren't your fault. Criminals do this professionally. What helps most is a calm, clear plan and a written record of every step.

This pack gives you both.

🪪 Identity Theft Recovery Workbook

Work through recovery step by step and keep a complete written record.

• What was compromised, and the first calls to make
• Fraud alerts and credit reports
• Your FTC Identity Theft Report at IdentityTheft.gov
• A call log for every company, rep, and reference number
• Credit freezes, an IRS Identity Protection PIN, and checks at 3, 6, and 12 months

💔 Romance Scam Recovery Workbook

A respectful, practical recovery plan that covers your emotional, financial, and personal safety.

• You are not alone, and this is not your fault
• Stopping the losses and saving evidence safely
• Securing your accounts and asking your bank about disputes
• Reporting to the FBI's IC3, the FTC, and the platform involved
• Protecting yourself from "recovery" scams
• Emotional recovery resources and support groups

👵 Senior Citizen Scam Defense Workbook

A clear, respectful plan to fill in by, or with, an older adult. The aim is to be prepared without becoming fearful.

• The common scams: "grandchild in trouble," IRS, tech support, Medicare, sweepstakes
• Golden rules: no gift cards, wire transfers, or crypto, and call family first
• Phone and computer defense
• Bank alerts, credit freezes, and trusted-contact setup
• A family code word and an emergency contact list

🛡️ Stalkerware Detection Workbook

Recognize the warning signs, and plan carefully before you act.

• Safety comes first. Removing stalkerware can alert whoever installed it, so the order of steps matters.
• Warning signs to look for
• Step-by-step checks for iPhone and Android
• Account checks: active sessions, sharing, location access, email forwarding
• Contacting an advocate and making a safety plan before you act

If you are in an abusive situation, the National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788) can help you plan safely. If you can, contact them from a device the other person can't access.

What you'll put in place

• The right recovery steps, in the right order
• A clean record of every call and report
• A stop to further losses, and the ability to spot recovery scams
• Protection for an older parent against urgent-call scams
• A check of a phone for stalkerware warning signs
• A safe plan, made with an advocate, before you act
