Saw something suspicious? Check if it's a scam.
The enhanced ScamShield app uses an AI-powered classifier to help you identify potential scams. By submitting a number, message or link, ScamShield can:
Check if it's from a verified source like registered businesses and the government, and let you know it's safe
Check if it's similar to known scam messages, numbers or links previously identified by authorities, and let you know it looks like a scam
Let you know if other scam-spotters in the community reported the number or message too
Check before you act
Scammers rely on urgency and confusion to get you to act quickly without thinking. By taking a moment to check suspicious calls, messages, or links, you can ensure any transactions you're making are legitimate. Make it a habit to check suspicious things on the ScamShield app!
