## What is Scamward?

A little practice. A calmer you.

Scamward is a safe place to practice recognizing scams before you face them in everyday life. Explore fictional conversations, choose your replies, and learn how a moment of pause can change what happens next.

PRACTICE EVERYDAY SITUATIONS
Work through 30 branching scenarios, including bank impersonation, unexpected delivery fees, online marketplace offers, and urgent requests from someone claiming to be family. Each conversation gives you choices to explore at your own pace.

PAUSE, THINK, TRY AGAIN
Use gentle hints when a message feels uncertain. Rewind a choice to explore another reply, then reflect on the pressure tactics and warning signs you noticed.

BUILD YOUR FIELD GUIDE
Browse practical lessons and save useful phrases for later. Practice three simple habits: pause before acting, verify through an independent source, and protect your private information.

SEE YOUR JOURNEY
Return to unfinished practice, revisit completed situations, and keep your saved lessons together.

PRIVATE AND OFFLINE
No account is required. No ads or in-app purchases. Core practice and lessons work offline, and your practice progress stays on your device.

Scamward is an educational practice app. It does not monitor your messages, block calls, or guarantee protection against fraud.
