This isn't a blog. It's a mission.
Tutela Digitalis — Latin for "Digital Guardianship" — exists because I've seen what online fraud does to people. Not in headlines or statistics. In real conversations with real victims who lost their savings, their trust, and sometimes their sense of self.
I've spent years studying how scammers operate — their scripts, their psychology, their infrastructure. I've helped victims navigate the aftermath: contacting banks, filing reports, rebuilding their digital security, and recovering emotionally from the violation of trust that fraud represents.
Every guide on this site is written from that experience. Not from reading other blogs, not from press releases, not from AI-generated summaries. From sitting across from someone who just lost $50,000 and needs to know exactly what to do next.
What Tutela Digitalis is — in one minute
Tutela Digitalis is an independent, fully educational fraud-protection service. We do one thing, and we do it thoroughly: help you recognise, avoid, and report scams — in plain language, backed by named primary sources, and free.
If you’re in the middle of a case and need someone to walk through your situation with you, that’s what a private consultation is for. We navigate you step by step through exactly what to do next — which bank line to call and what to say, how and where to report it, how to lock down your accounts, and what outcome is realistic. It’s the one thing we charge for, and it is guidance and teaching, never a promise to recover funds — because no honest service can promise that.
We are not a recovery service — we never charge to get money back, because anyone who does is running the second scam. No products, no affiliate links, no sponsored content, no data harvesting. Independent, ad-free, and thorough in everything we publish: every figure on this site is traced to a named primary source, and we cover the details most guides skip — country by country, scam by scam.
Areas of expertise
Tutela Digitalis publishes original analysis and consults victims across the full surface of online fraud. The areas covered in depth on this site, and the topics I work on directly:
How I work
Most of the value on this site is free, because most people in fraud crisis cannot pay and should not have to. Paid services exist for cases that need depth.
I do not charge anyone to recover lost funds — any service that does is a recovery scam. Real recovery happens through your bank, the FBI IC3, FTC, and country equivalents (all free).
What makes Tutela Digitalis different
Every guide includes real-world experience from helping actual scam victims — not theoretical advice.
All statistics are sourced from verified organizations: FBI, FTC, APWG, Verizon DBIR, CrowdStrike, and more.
The content is written for humans in crisis — clear, direct, step-by-step. Not SEO filler.
Free educational content covers 90% of situations. Consultation is available for complex cases.
No affiliate links to products, no sponsored content, no conflicts of interest. Independent and unbiased.
Editorial standards & how we fact-check
This is a YMYL ("your money or your life") site: people read it while they are being defrauded, so accuracy is not optional. Every page is held to the same standard:
Every statistic is traced to a named, authoritative source — a government agency, regulator, court filing, or established industry report — and cited with its date. We never publish an unsourced figure, a rounded-up guess, or an AI-generated statistic as our own.
Guides start from direct experience helping victims, not from rewriting other blogs or press releases. Once drafted, every factual claim is checked against the primary source before it ships.
Loss figures, scam scripts, and reporting channels change constantly. We date our figures and revisit pages so the advice reflects how the scam works now — not how it worked two years ago.
When a source is superseded we update the page. Example: when the UK retired Action Fraud in favour of Report Fraud in December 2025, we corrected every page that referenced it. Accuracy outranks looking finished.
No affiliate links, no sponsored content, no product placement, no data harvesting. Nothing on this site is shaped by who pays us, because — apart from optional consultations — no one does.
Our sources
Every claim on Tutela Digitalis is backed by verified data. Our primary sources include:
Why I work under one name
You'll notice I go by my first name here — Peter — and you won't find my photo, my full identity, or my home city anywhere on this site. That's deliberate, and it's the same advice I give the people I help.
Studying fraud means studying the people who commit it. The more visible I am, the easier I become to target, impersonate, or pressure — and impersonation is exactly the weapon these groups use best. Protecting my identity keeps this work independent and keeps me free to say things others won't.
It also makes a point: you don't need to broadcast your whole life to be trusted, and neither do you. Guarding your identity isn't paranoia — it's basic digital hygiene. I just practice what I teach.
