Field notes
The examples show the framework in use: a purported grandchild's emergency request prompts a call-back to a known number, while a health claim points readers toward a pharmacist, GP or NHS website. A note cautions that a pressure tactic is a reason to slow down, not proof that a message is false. The page also links to UK reporting and support resources.
