Simulations · Level 2

Multi-channel scenarios

Here the scam does not come from just one direction. SMS, phone, email, messaging apps and BLIK support the same false story. You learn to connect the signals into a whole, rather than evaluating each channel separately.

Level 2 is closest to real attacks, because today's scammers rarely operate through a single message. They build credibility by repeating the same story across several channels. That is exactly why this level is so important for the financial safety of older adults.

Scenarios in this level

Simulation 1

BLIK request from a friend

First you get a message on a messaging app, then a short call or follow-up. The sender sounds familiar, but all they want is the code.

  • You recognise a hijacked account and unnatural haste
  • You practise separately confirming the situation with your friend
  • You remember the rule: never share a BLIK code under pressure
Simulation 2

Bank number spoofing

An SMS warns of a threat, and shortly after a number that looks exactly like the bank's helpline calls. Everything seems consistent.

  • You learn that phone numbers can also be faked
  • You practise refusing to approve a "safe transfer"
  • You verify the contact by calling back on the official number
Simulation 3

Fake investment

You see an ad, fill in a form, get a call from an "adviser" and then an email with a client dashboard. Each element reinforces trust.

  • You recognise promises of quick and guaranteed returns
  • You practise checking the company and domain before paying
  • You learn why you must never install remote access software
Simulation 4

Courier, auction and a top-up link

An SMS, email and phone call arrive about a parcel or an online sale. Every message adds to the same false story.

  • You practise comparing web addresses and spotting tiny domain differences
  • You see how a scammer uses a small amount to capture card details
  • You reinforce the rule of typing the address manually or using the app

What Level 2 changes

  • You learn to see the whole scam, not just a single message.
  • You notice that consistency across channels does not mean truth.
  • You build the reflex of verifying outside the channel the request came from.

When to move to Level 3

You can pause even when the story is consistent and logical.
You do not trust a phone number alone or the fact that someone knows details.
You can check an institution from an independent source.
You already know that BLIK, a link and a phone call can all be part of one attack.
