ScammerGuardian is an AI call screener that stops scam calls before they ring through. Use it for yourself, for your parents, for your spouse, for your kids, for anyone in your family who gets bombarded with fake IRS calls, fake Medicare calls, fake bank calls, and fake "your grandkid is in trouble" calls. Every year, Americans lose tens of billions of dollars to phone scams. Robocalls, vishing, romance scams, deepfake voice clones, fake government agencies. Most phones have no real protection beyond a lazy spam label that misses most of the actual bad actors. You keep your phone number ScammerGuardian works through call forwarding, not number porting. You keep your existing number on your existing carrier. Nothing about your number changes. You simply turn on call forwarding to a dedicated screening number we set up for you, and every call now passes through our AI first. Turn the forwarding off any time and your phone goes back to normal instantly. How it works 1. Sign up in under two minutes. 2. We provision a dedicated screening number for you. 3. Install the app on the phone you want to protect, and turn on call forwarding from that phone to the screening number. We walk you through it on the iPhone in a couple of taps. 4. Every unknown caller now talks to our AI first. Real friends, doctors, businesses, and family pass through. Scammers do not. What you get - AI conversation screening, not just a database lookup. Our AI listens to what the caller actually says and detects fraud patterns that spam blockers miss. - Instant SMS alerts the moment a scam is blocked. - Daily email summary so you always know what came in. - Full call history with recordings, transcripts, and the AI's reasoning for every blocked call. - One tap to whitelist real friends or block a number for good. - Custom screening rules. Turn sensitivity up for high-risk users, or relax it for someone who gets a lot of legitimate calls. Use it for yourself, or set it up for someone you care about ScammerGuardian works the same whether you are protecting your own phone or someone else's. Adult children commonly set it up for an aging parent. Spouses set it up for each other. Parents set it up for their kids. Anyone tired of getting blasted by spam can set it up for themselves. The protected phone installs the app and turns on call forwarding. That is it. Privacy We never sell your data. Calls are screened by our AI and recordings auto-delete after 90 days. Delete your account anytime. Pricing 7-day free trial. Base: $29 per month. Full AI screening, alerts, recordings, transcripts, whitelist, daily summary. Premium: $39 per month.
