About Secure Sidekick
Secure Sidekick was created to help everyday people feel more confident when dealing with suspicious emails, text messages, and online scams.
Michael Litchfield
Online scams are becoming more convincing every year. Many people feel pressured, confused, or anxious when they receive suspicious messages that appear to come from banks, delivery companies, streaming services, family members, or government agencies.
Secure Sidekick was built to provide a calm second opinion before someone clicks a link, replies to a message, calls a phone number, or sends money online.
The goal is simple:
Help people slow down, think clearly, and avoid scams with more confidence.
Secure Sidekick identifies common scam warning signs and explain them in plain English. The service is designed for normal everyday users — not cybersecurity experts.
This project was created independently with a focus on simplicity, clarity, and emotional reassurance rather than technical jargon or fear-based messaging.
My goal with Secure Sidekick is to create something simple, calming, and genuinely useful for people who may not feel comfortable navigating modern online scams and suspicious messages alone.
If something feels suspicious, it is always best to contact the company or person directly using trusted contact information from their official website.
