Built for the moment of doubt
I’m Anton Hoelstad, a Copenhagen-based digital marketer. I built Scam Prevention Guide because I’ve seen how scams exploit the moment people panic — and how few resources help someone during the crisis, not just before or after. I’m not a police investigator or a cybersecurity researcher. What I am is careful, independent, technically literate, and obsessed with getting this right. Every page on this site is drafted with AI assistance and reviewed, edited, and fact-checked by a human editor before publication. No crisis page on this site will ever try to sell you something during a crisis. That line doesn’t move.
