ScammerGuardian is an AI that stops scam calls and scam texts. Unknown callers talk to our assistant before your phone ever rings, and texts from numbers not in your contacts are checked before anyone reads them. It is built to spot the tricks scammers use: fake IRS, fake Medicare, fake bank, fake "your grandkid is in trouble". Real people get through. Scammers do not. Use it for yourself, or set it up for a parent, a spouse or anyone you look after. Scam calls 1. Sign up and start your free trial. 2. We give you a dedicated screening number. 3. On the phone you are protecting, install the app and turn on call forwarding to that number. The app shows the exact code for your carrier. 4. From then on, unknown callers talk to our assistant first. It asks who they are and why they are calling, and the AI decides: put through, block, or take a message. Trusted callers, starting with the contacts you add at setup, ring straight through. Calls that pass ring through the ScammerGuardian app, so keep it installed with notifications on. Scam texts (Calling Premium) Every text from a number that is not in the phone's contacts is checked by the same AI. A scam text is swept into the Spam folder before anyone sees it. Apple handles that part privately, so there is nothing to act on and nothing to alert. Turn it on once under Settings, Apps, Messages, Filter Spam. What you get - Conversation screening, not just a number lookup. The assistant listens to what the caller actually says. - Watch a call being screened as it happens, and block it or put it through yourself. - Push, text and email alerts when a scam call is stopped. - Call history with the recording, the transcript and the reason for every blocked call. - Voicemails from uncertain callers that you review first, then send on. - Trusted callers: your contacts at setup, anyone you allow later, and the option to add new contacts automatically. - Daily summary and a weekly report with one safety tip. - Quiet hours and your choice of alerts. - Home Screen widgets and a Lock Screen view of calls being checked. For families Several people can sign in to one account. Every phone set as a guardian phone gets the alerts; only the protected phone rings. Privacy We do not sell your personal information. Only blocked calls and voicemails keep a recording, kept while your account is open and deleted within 30 days after you delete it. No voiceprints, ever. Pricing 14-day free trial, cancel any time before it ends with no charge. Calling Base: $29.99 per month. Call screening, alerts, call history, trusted callers, daily summary and weekly report. Calling Premium: $39.99 per month. Everything in Base, plus text protection, a natural assistant voice to choose from, and robocall detection.
