About Scam
GuardDog
Scam GuardDog is a revolutionary new tech startup dedicated to protecting Americans from the growing threat of scams. According to the FTC, scams cost Americans a staggering $10 billion in 2023, and that number is only growing. Every day, thousands of the most vulnerable people in our society are targeted by increasingly sophisticated and ruthless scams originating from all over the world. These scams can leave victims financially ruined and destitute. As technology advances, scammers are scaling up their operations, making it more important than ever to empower potential victims with the tools to fight back.
Scam GuardDog was born out of a personal experience. Our founder was inspired to create the platform after his wife's grandparents fell victim to two scams in rapid succession. He set out to develop a tool that could help them, and others like them, detect and avoid scams anywhere. Using his tech background in identity and financial fraud detection/monitoring for large institutions, we have been able to build a suite of tools for the everyday user to bring advanced scam and fraud detection to everyone - not just large institutions!
At the heart of Scam GuardDog is a powerful machine learning engine, trained on a database of tens of thousands of real-world scams, including emails, text messages, call recordings, chat logs, and physical letters. This allows our platform to recognize and categorize scams based on content and intent, and warn users accordingly.
Scam GuardDog is the first of its kind to offer this service - other services are passive Identity/Credit Monitoring or Virus and Malware Scanners that need to scan everything and do not check for social engineering approaches, therefore they do not catch scams. Scam GuardDog is highly flexible, cross-platform, multi-language, and very approachable for even non-tech savvy users.
In fact, using Scam GuardDog is incredibly simple, even for those who are not tech-savvy. Users can submit anything - a photo of a letter, a screenshot of an email, text, or chat conversation, social media posts and DMs, and even the URL of a suspicious website. Our platform will then detect, with a high degree of accuracy, whether or not it is a scam! The app is available on the iOS App Store, Google Play Store, and on the web with no installation necessary for web users.
