New scams, the week they spread
The fake delivery texts, bank impersonation calls, investment DMs, and job offers being reported to GACS right now — before they reach the people you know.
What to actually do
Each alert comes with the practical step: the setting to change, the number to block, the phrase that gives the scammer away.
Once a week, two minutes
One email on Friday. No daily noise, no selling your address, and one-click unsubscribe in every message.
Questions people ask
Is the GACS scam alerts newsletter free?
Yes. The weekly scam alerts email is completely free and always will be. There is no paid tier of the newsletter.
How often will I get emails?
Once a week, normally Friday morning. We only send extra messages when a fast-moving scam is actively costing people money.
How do I unsubscribe?
Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link at the bottom. It takes effect immediately and needs no account or password.
Will my email address be shared or sold?
No. Your address is used only to send the alerts. We do not sell, rent, or share subscriber lists — see the privacy policy for the full detail.
Why do I have to confirm my email?
The list is double opt-in, so we send one confirmation link first. That stops anyone from signing your address up without your permission, and it keeps the alerts landing in inboxes rather than spam folders.
