Kindle book
It looked real, so you almost clicked the link
Don't Click That! is a Kindle book by İsmail Günaydın that helps non-technical readers recognize online scams. Written in plain English, it covers how modern scams work, red flags in emails and messages, using AI assistants to check suspicious content, safe online shopping, a toolkit of checking tools, practice scenarios and building lasting habits.
Don't Click That!. A practical, AI-powered guide to help you spot, avoid, and outsmart modern online scams
A text says your parcel is on hold and asks you to pay a small fee. An email from your bank looks exactly like the last ten real ones. A seller on a marketplace wants to move the chat to another app. You are busy, the message is polite and urgent at once, and your thumb is already over the link. Most people who get caught are not careless. They are rushed.
Scammers now use AI to write clean, convincing messages, copy company emails and keep up a conversation that feels human. The old advice, look for bad spelling, no longer catches much. One wrong click can mean a stolen password, an emptied card or hours on the phone with your bank. And the people around you, parents, kids, colleagues, face the same messages with even less time to think.
Generic safety tips tell you to be careful, which is hard to act on. This book gives you specific things to check: the red flags scams usually leave, a checklist for websites and sellers, and ready-made questions you can paste into an AI assistant such as ChatGPT to get a second opinion on a suspicious message. It treats AI as a tool for you, not just for scammers.
No book can make anyone scam-proof, and this one does not claim to. What it offers is a habit: pause, check, verify through a channel you trust. Practice scenarios let you test your judgment on realistic examples before a real one arrives, and the final chapter helps you build a personal routine you and your family can keep using. Fewer rushed clicks, more deliberate ones.
