No Scam Left BehindAbout No Scam Left Behind
On a mission to put scammers out of business by spreading knowledge that reduces the risk of scams, fraud, hacks, data leaks, and identity theft.
No Scam Left Behind (NSLB) is a free education project. We turn official guidance from sources like the FTC, FBI, and CISA into short, plain-language checklists anyone can follow, and a quick self-check that shows where to start.
NSLB is a brand of Apex 42 Holdings LLC, a private company. We aren't part of, affiliated with, or endorsed by any government or law enforcement agency. We can't take fraud reports or investigate cases.
How we score
The NSLB Essentials Quiz asks 20 questions in 5 areas: Scam Recognition & Verification, Accounts & Devices, Identity & Credit, Payments & Money, and Privacy & Exposure. Each question has a weight from 1 to 10 based on how much we think it matters, using public data plus our own judgment. Some weights rest on strong evidence and some on less. Another expert could weigh things differently.
- Each answer earns full, partial, or no credit. Your score is your weighted credit out of 100.
- "I'm not sure" scores 0, because a protection you can't confirm is one you can't count on. The matching checklist shows you how to check.
- Questions that don't apply to you (no close family, no crypto) are left out of your score entirely.
- Tiers: Wide Open (0-39), Exposed (40-59), Guarded (60-74), Hardened (75-89), NSLB Hero (90-100 plus extra checks: every area at 70+, an authenticator app or stronger 2FA, always verifying unexpected requests, and no zero on any top-weighted question).
Your score is a self-reported snapshot. It is not a security audit or a guarantee.
