Check before you pay, click, or trust.

ScamShield NG helps people assess suspicious messages, screenshots, payment proofs, job offers, vendor chats, rent requests, and links before they send money or share sensitive information.

Clear scam-risk guidance powered by OCR, rule-based warning signs, and AI-assisted analysis.

Guidance — not legal proof or guaranteed fraud verification.

Functional private beta. Core mobile and admin workflows are operational. Final quality assurance, security hardening, and pilot preparation are ongoing.

Nigeria is the launch market. The platform is designed for future localization across other mobile-first markets.

Payment proofs
Rent and property requests

The product: A mobile digital-safety assistant that checks suspicious messages, screenshots, and links for visible warning signs. Initial customers: Nigerian consumers facing job-offer scams, fake payment proofs, fraudulent vendors, and rent scams. Current stage: Functional private beta preparing for pilot.
