Who gets targeted
Scammers don't
pick targets randomly.
They study their victims first — looking for gaps in knowledge, trust in authority, and moments of vulnerability. Three groups are hit hardest.
Seniors
Tech-support scams, fake Medicare calls, grandparent fraud. Elderly adults are targeted because they're more likely to trust and less likely to verify.

Students
Fake job offers, rental scams, scholarship fraud. Desperate for opportunities and short on experience.

It learns your patterns
ScamShield builds a quiet behavioral profile — the senders you normally hear from, the types of payments you make, the sites you use. It takes about a minute to set up.
You paste anything suspicious
Got a weird text? A job offer that feels off? An email asking you to click something? Paste it in. ScamShield checks it against your profile, not just a generic list of bad words.
It explains what it found
"You've never received a payment request from this sender before. This pattern matches known gift-card scams." Clear language. No tech jargon. Action steps included.
