WHAT SCAMSHIELD DOES

🛡️ Scam & phishing checker
Paste any suspicious SMS, email or message and get an instant risk verdict. ScamShield recognizes phishing, bank impersonation, fake delivery notices, prize and lottery scams, investment and crypto fraud, romance scams, job scams and more.

🤖 AI scam analysis
Let AI take a deeper look: it explains in plain language why a message is dangerous and what to do next.

🔗 Link & QR code scanner
Scan a QR code or paste a URL to detect phishing domains, shortened-link tricks, unsafe HTTP pages and brand impersonation.
