## Who runs this

I work in cybersecurity. I started Pause Before Send because people lose real money to crypto scams, and those scams follow repeatable patterns. This site explains them plainly, with a source for every claim.

Here you get a weekly scam log, plain-language explainers on how each scam works and how to avoid it, and a free data page you can cite. Posts are AI-assisted and human-reviewed by me before they go up.

## How we work

- **Sources first.** Every factual claim links to an agency, a company statement, a court filing, the security firm that first reported it, or a named news outlet. Anything we couldn't confirm is marked "Uncertain."
- **AI-assisted, human-reviewed.** An AI assistant helps with research, drafting and layout. A human checks every claim against its source and approves every page and email. Each page footer names the reviewer and the review date.
- **Dated corrections.** When we fix something, the page's changelog records what changed and when. We don't change a date without a real edit.
- **Things we never do:** coin or price calls; exchange or trading referrals; affiliate links on scam alerts; calling a named private person a scam without an official source; DMing you first; asking for a recovery phrase.

## Contact and corrections

Corrections and tips: [corrections@pausebeforesend.com](mailto:corrections@pausebeforesend.com). We fix errors with a dated note.

On X: [@aotlwbox](https://x.com/aotlwbox). We will never DM you first. Any account that does, claiming to be us, is fake.
