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.
