Getting Started
Q: What do I get with the Don’t Get Bunked! System™?
A: Three parts: (1) The Bunkproof Toolkit™ (guides, checklists, and compact PDFs), (2) the video course Bunkproof in 30 Minutes™, and (3) the eBook DEBUNK: Arm Yourself With the Tenets of Critical Thinking.
Q: How long does it take?
A: The video lessons are about 30 minutes total. Feel free to pause and follow along in the Toolkit as often as you'd like, so your actual completion time may be longer. The Toolkit is self-paced, and reading time for the book will vary.
Q: Do I need technical expertise to use this?
A: No. Everything is explained in plain English with clear, step-by-step examples. No technical background required.
Access & Accounts

Q: Are updates included?
A: Early adopters receive lifetime Toolkit updates at no additional cost.
Using the Toolkit
Q: Do I need special software or apps?
A: No. The Toolkit uses websites, resources, and PDFs that work in a standard web browser.
Q: Where are the printable handouts?
A: See Printable Handouts in the members area.
Q: Will this help with deepfakes and viral visuals?
A: Yes. The Toolkit includes Deepfakes & Digital Verification resources plus quick checks (reverse image search, keyframes, provenance).
Sources & Trust
Q: Are your sources trustworthy?
A: Don’t Get Bunked! points to independent, reputable resources (several ✔ IFCN-Verified). External links are labeled with ↗️ and open in a new tab or window; internal links open in the same tab.
Q: How is this different from free tips online?
A: You get a fast, repeatable system (SIFT + red-flag checks), a curated Toolkit, and clear, easy-to-follow materials that cut through noise.
Accessibility
Q: Do you support larger text and high contrast?
A: Yes. All text is high-contrast, and PDFs are designed to be 508-conscious.
Q: Can I get a large-print version?
A: Not yet. Compact PDFs are available on each resource page now, and large-print versions are coming soon. If you're viewing a PDF on a phone, tablet, or computer, you can use your device's zoom controls to enlarge the text.
Q: Why do some links have a “#” in them (like /members-only/#deepfakes)?
A: Links with a # are safe and normal — it just jumps to a section on the same page so you don’t have to scroll.
For Groups (Senior Centers, Churches, Libraries)
Q: Can I use this in a workshop?
A: You may hand out the "Sharable Handouts" on the members-only landing page (attribution appreciated).
Privacy & Support

Q: How do I get help?
A: Use the Get Support button at the top of the page.
What is Don't Get Bunked?
Q: Do you fact-check claims for me?
A: No. Don’t Get Bunked! provides education, checklists, and links to reputable tools so you can verify information and spot scams yourself. We don’t publish verdicts or ratings on specific claims.
Q: What does “✔ IFCN-Verified” mean on some links?
A: Don’t Get Bunked! uses “✔ IFCN-Verified” to denote outlets that participate in the IFCN Code of Principles—standards for transparent methods and corrections. Compare more than one reputable source and, when possible, check original data.
Q: Will you investigate a claim or a suspicious message for me?
A: We can’t investigate individual cases. Use the checklists and resources in your Toolkit to evaluate messages, headlines, images, audio/video, and websites—then contact the relevant company/agency via official channels.
Q: Is this a replacement for bank/IT support, legal, medical, or security advice?
A: No. Don’t Get Bunked! is educational. For urgent issues (payments sent, identity theft, malware), use the emergency steps in the Toolkit and contact your bank, provider, or the appropriate authority immediately.
Q: Can I share the one-page handouts?
A: Yes—those are designed for sharing. Please include DontGetBunked.com.
Q: Do you endorse political parties, candidates, or positions?
A: No. Our materials teach neutral verification steps for public claims and rhetoric.
Q: What happens if sources disagree?
A: Compare methods, definitions, and date ranges; look for primary data; and wait for more evidence if needed. When in doubt, don’t share or act until you’ve cross-checked.
