Sources & references
Where our scam-prevention guidance comes from.
Our articles and guides translate official consumer-protection, cybersecurity, and law-enforcement guidance into plain language and printable checklists. The primary sources below are the authorities we rely on. Always verify a specific claim against the official source, and report fraud through these channels.
How we use these sources
We cite official agencies rather than third-party blogs. Where an article references a statistic, rule, or reporting step, the relevant source is linked at the end of that article. We do not fabricate statistics, quotes, or endorsements. See our editorial standards for the full methodology.
Consumer protection
Tax & government impersonation
Package & delivery scams

Secure Hustle Queen’s guides are educational and informational only. They are not legal, financial, or professional security advice. For guidance on a specific situation, consult a qualified professional and the official agency responsible for the topic.
