One sheet of Letter paper, with a space at the bottom for your organization. The full wording is below, so you can copy any part of it.

Before sending a suspicious message or screenshot to anyone

  • Remove names, addresses, phone numbers, account and order numbers.
  • Remove passwords, codes, card details, QR codes, and login links.
  • Defang web addresses in anything public.
  • Do not forward a private conversation without permission.
  • Send private material through the approved route only.
  • Never ask a child, client, or victim to open a suspicious site.
  • Do not accuse anyone on the strength of one screenshot.

A report or a feed match is a lead, not proof.
