ScamShield

ScamShield is an application that aims to protect users from scams by blocking suspicious calls, filtering scammy SMSes, and allowing users to check potentially harmful messages before clicking on them. It is designed to provide users with a sense of security and help them avoid falling victim to scams.

The app offers several features to help users stay safe from scams. One of its key features is the ability to receive notifications when a number that has been reported by the user is flagged as potentially used by scammers by the authorities. This allows users to stay updated and aware of potential threats.

Another useful feature of ScamShield is the ability to spot scams before they can cause any harm. Users can simply paste a suspicious link, message, or phone number into the app to check if it is a scam. They can even upload screenshots from SMS, WhatsApp, or Telegram to verify the authenticity of the message.

ScamShield also offers a quick setup guide to block known scam numbers and filter out sketchy messages. This feature helps users to proactively protect themselves from potential scams.

The app also encourages users to report any suspicious calls, messages, or links they encounter. This not only helps the community by providing valuable information, but it also allows the app to better protect everyone. However, it is important to note that submitting a scam report through the app is not the same as filing an official police report. In case of being scammed, users are advised to file an e-report with the Singapore Police Force.

ScamShield is a must-have for users who want to protect themselves and their loved ones from scams. It is a simple yet effective way to stay safe in the digital world. The app also welcomes feedback and ideas from users, which can be shared through the provided link. ScamShield is a collaboration between Open Government Products, the Singapore Police Force, and the National Crime Prevention Council, making it a reliable and trustworthy source for scam protection.
