Before you trust it, check it. FN ScamGuard+ helps you stop and check suspicious calls, messages, links, online relationships and requests before you make a decision you may regret. You do not need to understand scams or know what type of fraud you might be dealing with. Simply tell FN ScamGuard+ what is happening in your own words, or share suspicious content with the app. The app looks for warning signs such as impersonation, pressure, secrecy, requests for money, remote access, account details, unusual payment methods, romance manipulation and other common scam behaviours. Get a clear next step FN ScamGuard+ turns complex warning signs into simple guidance: • STOP — strong warning signs have been found. Stop contact or payment and take a safer route. • VERIFY FIRST — something needs checking before you continue. • NO OBVIOUS WARNING SIGNS — no strong warning pattern was detected, but unexpected requests should still be independently verified. FN ScamGuard+ is a decision-support tool. It does not guarantee that a person, organisation, message, call or website is genuine or fraudulent. Tell us what happened Speak naturally using the built-in voice check. You can describe a situation exactly as you experienced it without needing technical language. On supported devices where Apple Intelligence is available, FN ScamGuard+ can use Apple’s on-device language model to better understand the meaning and context of natural speech. Core scam checking remains available when Apple Intelligence is unavailable. Check shared content Bring suspicious material into FN ScamGuard+ using: • Screenshots and photos • Pasted messages and email text • Web links • QR codes • Supported iOS Share actions Text and links can be extracted and checked for behavioural warning signs. Free users can add one trusted person and quickly contact them when something does not feel right. FN ScamGuard+ always uses the contact details you entered yourself rather than phone numbers supplied by a suspicious caller or message. Premium unlocks an expanded trusted-person network and additional protection tools. Recognise common scam behaviour FN ScamGuard+ is designed to identify patterns associated with situations such as: • Bank and organisation impersonation • Remote-access and fake tech-support scams • Tax and government payment threats • Family emergency and new-number scams • Parcel and delivery payment traps • Suspicious links and credential requests • Investment and cryptocurrency scams • Romance and online relationship scams • Payment-redirection fraud • Gift-card and unusual-payment requests Evidence Vault Premium users can preserve important scam-related material in the Evidence Vault, including original content, findings, notes and incident history. Professional PDF incident reports can be created when you need a clear record of what happened. Recovery help Already sent money, shared information or allowed someone access to your device? FN ScamGuard+ provides practical recovery steps designed to help you act quickly, preserve useful evidence and contact the appropriate organisation using an independently trusted route. Privacy first Scam analysis is designed to work locally on your device. FN ScamGuard+ does not rely on an external AI service for its scam-analysis feature. Sensitive incident information is kept under your control. Free and Premium Core scam checking and one trusted person are available for free. FN ScamGuard+ Premium unlocks additional trusted-person protection, Evidence Vault features, professional incident reports and expanded recovery and protection tools. Premium is available as an auto-renewable monthly subscription with any introductory trial and pricing displayed directly from the App Store.
