About The Tell
The Tell explains one real scam at a time: how it works, the one detail that gives it away, and what to do.
How we work
- Public sources only. Facts come from the FTC, the FBI, the US Postal Inspection Service and state agencies. Every number links to where it came from.
- Recreations, not real messages. The phone screens in our videos are recreations. They never show a real company's branding or a real person.
- An AI voice. Narration uses an AI voice. Every video is labeled that way on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram.
- Independent. The Tell is not affiliated with any government agency, bank or company.
