Scam checks
Got a text, email, pop-up, or phone call that feels off? Send it to me and I'll help you tell if it's real before you click, call back, or pay.
Personal IT help · Wheatland, Wyoming
Scammers picked the wrong family.
Not sure about a message, call, or link? Ask before you click.
Scammers target families every day with fake giveaways, “your account is locked” texts, and fake payment screenshots. I've been the person people call for years. Now you can have that on call, any time.
I will never ask for your passwords or ask you to send money to anyone.
What I help with
A real person you can ask, before something goes wrong — or after it already has.
Everyday tech help
Quick help with phones, email, and account questions — the kind of thing that's easy when you've done it for years, and stressful when you haven't.
Security checkups
We'll walk through passwords, two-step login, and privacy settings so your devices and accounts are harder for strangers to get into.
Cleanup and reporting
If something already happened, I can help you lock down accounts, contact the bank or Cash App, and file reports with the FBI and the FTC.

Do this now
Think you're being scammed?
If a message, call, or pop-up is pushing you to act right away, slow down. Scammers count on you feeling scared or rushed.
- Stop. Don't click the link, don't call the number in the message, and don't send money, gift cards, or crypto.
- Don't share secrets. Don't give anyone your passwords, one-time codes, or remote access to your computer or phone.
- Use a number you already have. If you need to check with your bank or a company, hang up and call the number on your statement, the back of your card, or a website you type yourself.
- Ask me before you click or pay. Email jon@laughingbaldman.com and tell me what happened. I'll help you figure out if it's real.
- If you already sent money or shared information, contact your bank or Cash App right away. Then email me. I can help you lock things down and file reports.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
How do I get started?
Email me at jon@laughingbaldman.com and tell me what you need — a quick scam check, a plan, or help after something already happened. I'll write back and we'll go from there.
How fast will you answer?
On the Peace of Mind plan, I answer within one business day. On the Family Plan, I give same-day answers. If you email about a possible scam and you're not on a plan yet, I'll still try to get back to you quickly.
Will you ever ask for my passwords or for me to send money?
No. I will never ask for your passwords or ask you to send money to anyone. If a message that looks like it's from me asks for that, it's not me. Stop and email me at the address on this page.
What does a security checkup include?
We review passwords, two-step login (also called two-factor authentication), and privacy settings. The Family Plan includes a yearly checkup. One-Time Help can be a full device and account security checkup, or help cleaning up after a scam.
What if I already got scammed?
Email me as soon as you can, and contact your bank or Cash App if money or account details were involved. One-Time Help ($75) covers scam cleanup: locking down accounts, contacting the bank and Cash App, and filing reports with the FBI and the FTC.
Do I have to live in Wheatland?
I'm based in Wheatland, Wyoming. Most help is by email, text, or phone, so you don't have to be next door. If you want in-person help, email me and we'll see what makes sense.
