Olevo

Source methodology

Olevo source selection is designed to make Learn pages useful, current, and grounded in public consumer guidance.

Source priority

FTC consumer guidance is the preferred source when it directly matches a scam topic. Official agency pages are used when they add reporting, identity theft, cybercrime, postal, Medicare, or program-specific context.

AARP is used as supplemental evidence when a page is current, topic-specific, and helpful for family support or practical scam-safety context.

  • Primary: FTC consumer guidance
  • Secondary: FBI, IC3, USPIS, IdentityTheft.gov, Medicare, and agency pages
  • Supplemental: AARP and topic-specific public guidance

When links are refreshed

Olevo should prefer a newer source when it is broader, more actionable, more topic-specific, or more canonical than an older link.

Data spotlights are useful for statistics, while consumer guidance pages are usually better primary links for what to do.
