Updated by SCAMSHIELD

With the enhanced ScamShield App, ScamShield users can now check and report scams on the app in addition to protecting themselves from scam calls and SMSes. Here is a quick overview of the available features:


  1. Checking of scams (new) - easily find out if a suspicious message, link, or phone number is a scam. ScamShield uses a robust algorithm, with AI/ML classification to evaluate the check outcome.

  2. Submitting scam reports (enhanced) - users can now upload screenshots with scam reports, so ScamShield can monitor them more effectively. Phone numbers, messages and links that are reported will be reviewed. If they are deemed suspicious, ScamShield will block the phone numbers and links.

  3. Call blocking and SMS filtering - provides users with step-by-step instructions on how to set up their phone to block scam calls and SMSes.
