Intro:
The modern web rewards confidence, not accuracy. Here’s a practical way to scan any page ad, article, or social post and spot the red flags before you waste time or money.
The 7‑point scan
- Source – Who’s publishing this? About page? Editorial policy?
- Disclosure – Is there a financial relationship? Is it clear?
- Claims – Are statements framed as possibilities (may help) or guarantees?
- Evidence – Are there real sources you can check?
- Specifics – Clear steps, specs, or just hype?
- Counterpoints – Do they admit limits or who shouldn’t use it?
- Return/Support – If you buy, is there a realistic refund/support path?
How we apply this at Public Scroll
We cite reputable sources, avoid disease claims, and label sponsored posts. If we’re unsure, we say so and we publish corrections.
Bottom line
Good skepticism saves time. Use this checklist before you click “Buy.”
