Step 1
Pause
Break contact with the pressure before replying, clicking, paying, or sharing.
How it works
Replace urgency with a repeatable process.
PauseSure does not ask you to trust a score. It helps you create enough distance to verify the situation through a source the requester does not control.
The PauseSure principleThe person creating urgency should never control how you verify the story.

Decide
Continue only after independent confirmation—or involve a trusted person and start recovery steps.
Example walkthrough
A caller says your bank account is under attack.
They know your name, create a deadline, and tell you not to speak to anyone. PauseSure turns those details into actions rather than a vague alarm.
