Q: Where are the printable handouts?
A: See Printable Handouts (wallet cards & one-pagers) 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).
Using Bunkproofer™

A: You get a fast, repeatable system (SIFT + red-flag checks), a curated Toolkit, and senior-friendly 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: Yes—These are provided as PDF files on every resource page.
Q: Why do some links have a “#” in them (like /members-only/#deepfakes)?

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).

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 and wallet cards?
A: Yes—those are designed for sharing. Please include DontGetBunked.com. Large-print guides and members-only materials are for personal use unless we state otherwise.
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.
