Trawl: The Phishing Simulator

With how much the internet has a hold on so many people, scammers seem to be an inevitability. Although they're little more than a nuisance to safety-conscious folks, they wouldn't be around if they weren't at least somewhat successful.

But what if you wanted that somewhat success? Well, with Trawl.exe, it's as good as yours! Click on fish and get rich! No sense in reading the fine print, or acknowledging the 1/10,000 chance you'll be caught by the cops for what you're doing to your "clients"!


To put your qualms to ease, no, this game will not scam you or get you in legal trouble. I'm not smart enough to code something that malicious (yet...) In all seriousness though, this game was a school project made to increase awareness of the Deception And Resilience Training for seniors, or D.A.R.T. It was one of many games that offhandedly taught folks how to avoid scams and suspicious contacts. In retrospect, it may have been a bit counterintuitive to have the player BE the scammer, but whatchagonnado?


Also no volume controls, unfortunately. You WILL be subjected to hip, royalty-free music (muahahaha!)
