ScamDefend
Private Family Verification
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Protect the people you love from impersonation scams. ScamDefend gives families a private way to verify urgent requests before sending money or sensitive information.
Scammers can imitate a loved one’s voice, messages, or identity. ScamDefend gives your family a simple, private way to verify it’s really them before you act.
When an unexpected message asks for money, a verification code, account information, or urgent help, pressure can make it difficult to know what’s real. ScamDefend adds a trusted verification step between you and the people you care about.
HOW SCAMDEFEND WORKS
Create your trusted circle by inviting family members and loved ones. Once they accept, ScamDefend creates a unique shared verification phrase for that relationship.
If you receive a suspicious or urgent request, use your shared phrase through a separate conversation to confirm you’re really communicating with the right person before taking action.
PROTECT YOUR TRUSTED CIRCLE
• Invite loved ones by email
• Accept or deny trusted-circle requests
• Create a unique shared phrase for each relationship
• Verify suspicious or unexpected requests
• Rotate shared phrases whenever needed
• Keep your trusted relationships organized in one place
• Phrase data is encrypted before being stored
BUILT FOR THE MOMENTS THAT MATTER
Use ScamDefend when someone claiming to be a loved one unexpectedly asks you to:
• Send or transfer money
• Share a verification or security code
• Change account information
• Provide sensitive personal details
• Respond immediately to an emergency or urgent situation
ScamDefend is designed to be simple. There are no complicated security tools to learn and no public monitoring system. It provides a private verification layer between people who already know and trust each other.
ScamDefend does not block messages or guarantee scam prevention, and it does not replace banks, law enforcement, emergency services, or your own judgment. Instead, it gives you and your loved ones an additional way to pause, verify, and make sure it’s really them before sharing money or sensitive information.
Scams move fast.
Slow down. Verify first. Protect the people who matter.
