كنت قد تعرّضت لمحاولة احتيال على هاتفي قبل أشهر، ودخلت هذه الدورة وأنا متردد. غيّرت نظرتي تمامًا للأمان المالي. تعلمت كيف أتعرّف على رسائل التصيّد التي تنتحل صفة البنك، وكيف أُفعّل التحقق بخطوتين على كل حساباتي بشكل صحيح. أكثر جزء أفادني كان الطريقة المنظّمة لتقييم أي فرصة استثمارية والأسئلة التي يجب أن أطرحها قبل أن أدفع أي مبلغ. أصبحت الآن أحمي مدخراتي بثقة وأنصح كل أفراد عائلتي بالخطوات نفسها. شرح واضح وعملي جدًا ومناسب لأي شخص لا يملك خلفية مالية.
