A useful starting point
Begin with the record, not the conclusion

How we read the issue
Three editorial principles
Safety before curiosity
Do not open a suspicious link or disclose information merely to learn more about the sender.
Match channel to purpose
Carrier pattern detection, agency complaints, and fraud reports are related but not interchangeable.
Keep expectations honest
A report contributes information; it does not promise an individual investigation, recovery, or legal result.
