  • Het webadres klopt niet. bpost gebruikt bpost.be, niet bpost-herlevering.be.
  • Een klein bedrag. €1,79 voelt te onbeduidend om over na te denken. Dat is precies de bedoeling.
  • Haast. "Binnen 24u" laat u handelen voor u twijfelt.

How it works

You learn by nearly falling for it

Reading about scams does little. The moment you almost tap the link is the one that sticks.

01

A message arrives

An SMS from your bank, an email from bpost, a WhatsApp from an unknown number. Looking just like the real thing.

02

You do what you would do

Tap, reply or ignore. In WhatsApp drills the scammer responds to what you type, so no two end the same way.

03

You see what was in it

Afterwards you get the warning signs you caught and the ones you missed, just like the three above.

Inside the app

Tricks that really circulate here

The drills use the patterns going around in Belgium: messages in the name of bpost, banks, telecom providers, the tax office, the police and second-hand marketplaces. Fill in a few details and the fake scammer names your own bank and town, just like a real one.

Nothing real ever happens

Every message comes from the app itself. Nobody is ever called or emailed, no money moves, and what you enter stays on your own device. It is practice, nothing more.

For organisations

Works as a group session

Associations, libraries and community centres working on digital safety: everyone does the same drill on their own phone, then you discuss together what stood out.

Questions that come up

Does it cost anything?

No. Downloading is free, and the SMS and email drills stay free. WhatsApp drills use AI and are limited in number.

What happens to my data?

What you enter stays on your phone. We never sell it and never give it to advertisers. See the privacy policy.

Can I install this for my parent?

That is what it is for. Put it on their phone and do the first drill together, that works better than sending a link.
