Module 1: Scam Prevention
You’ll learn what scams are currently targeting expats in Mexico, why we’re such appealing targets, how scammers think and operate, and most importantly, the daily habits that will protect you without making you feel like you’re living in a fortress.
Module 2: What to Do If You’ve Been Scammed
If the worst happens, you’ll know exactly what to do in the first hour, the first day, and the first week. You’ll understand how to report it, how to document everything, and how to fight for recovery. You’ll also learn about the emotional recovery process, because that matters too.
Module 3: Protecting Others
You’ll learn how to recognize when someone in your circle is being targeted, how to have those incredibly difficult conversations without pushing them away, and how to build community systems that protect everyone, not just individuals.
