Scans pages, marketplace listings, reviews, and chat messages for known scam patterns and warns you before you act. ShieldScam is a browser extension designed to help users identify potential online scams before they interact with websites, marketplace listings, reviews or messages. When a user chooses to scan a webpage, ShieldScam analyses information that is visible on the current page for indicators commonly associated with fraudulent activity. Depending on the implemented features, these indicators may include suspicious website characteristics, impersonation attempts, unusually high-risk offers, suspicious wording, inconsistent contact information, or other recognised scam patterns. ShieldScam presents the user with a risk assessment together with an explanation of the indicators that contributed to the result. The extension is intended to support users in making more informed decisions before entering personal information, making payments or communicating with unknown parties. Users should install ShieldScam because it provides an additional layer of awareness when browsing online. It helps highlight potential warning signs that may otherwise be overlooked, allowing users to take extra care before proceeding. ShieldScam is an advisory tool and does not guarantee that a website or message is safe or fraudulent. Users should always exercise their own judgement and verify information independently before making financial or personal decisions. ShieldScam only performs its analysis for its stated purpose of scam detection and is designed to provide users with clear, understandable information about potential risks.
