The short answer. Between Halloween and the January sales, families shop, give and travel more than at any other time, and scammers time their parcel texts, copycat shops, fake appeals and copied voices to match. This guide gives the whole family one plan: agree a safe word, set up each phone together, learn the signs of each festive scam, and know what to do in the first hour if money has gone. Beside every scam is a QR square that opens the free check at UtilForge.org on your own phone.

What is inside

Before the guests arriveThe family agreement, the safe word, setting up each phone together, and passwords, passkeys and two-step login.
What arrives in a festive moodThe prize and the quiz, the parcel text, the shop that looks too good, the gift card request, the appeal, travel and tickets, the message from someone you love, the news that is not news, game accounts and the seasonal job.
Everyone at the tableFor older relatives and the people who help them, a conversation at the table, and three short stories that end with someone checking.
If it has already happenedThe first hour, the family festive checklist for the fridge, the dates of the season, and where to report in twenty countries and territories and the European Union.
TogetherThe fireside game Guard the Table, with every card and answer, films to watch together, and every check in one place.
Two editionsA standard edition in full colour, and a large print edition in 18-point type, following the large-print guidelines of the American Printing House for the Blind. Both have the infographics and a plain-English glossary.

The Bright Spark Interval

In the middle of the book, bright pages for the curious ones in every family, whether they love to know how things work, ask why, or imagine what could be made: ten checks for the season, each with its QR square, a method for making a check of your own, three challenges, and what a career in cybersecurity can look like.
