About ScamShield Kit

We started ScamShield Kit for one reason: scams don't look fake anymore, and ordinary people deserve a straightforward way to defend against them.

A convincing voice on the phone, a clean-looking email, or a routine invoice, usually arriving at the busiest possible moment, is now enough to cost a family or a small business thousands of dollars. The old advice about watching for typos doesn't protect anyone anymore.

So we built something simpler: checklists, scripts, and worksheets that turn "stop and check before you pay" into an everyday habit. No jargon, no fear-mongering, and no software to install. Just plain-language tools you can set up in an afternoon and actually reach for when something feels off.

Built on trusted public guidance

Our materials are grounded in publicly available guidance from U.S. consumer-protection and cybersecurity authorities, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and AARP's Fraud Watch Network. We translate that guidance into steps a non-technical person can follow.

What we are, and what we aren't

We're an educational publisher. ScamShield Kit reduces risk and gives you ready responses; it cannot prevent every scam, and it is not legal, financial, cybersecurity, or law-enforcement advice. We say that plainly because trust starts with honesty.
