Reviewed June 10, 2026
How Olevo chooses sources
Olevo uses public, consumer-facing guidance first. FTC consumer pages are preferred when they directly match the scam topic. FBI, IC3, USPIS, IdentityTheft.gov, Medicare, and agency-specific sources are used when they add reporting, cybercrime, postal, identity, or program context.
AARP is used as supplemental context when a page is current, topic-specific, and helpful for family support or practical scam-safety examples.
- Primary source preference: FTC and official government guidance.
- Supplemental source preference: topic-specific AARP, FBI, IC3, USPIS, or platform guidance.
- Review cadence: update Learn sources when a newer, broader, or more topic-specific source becomes available.
