Terms of use
Last updated: November 2026
By using Scam Shield you agree to these terms. They are short, so please read them.
An estimate, not a guarantee
Scam Shield helps you judge messages, but it can be wrong. A Safe verdict does not prove a message is genuine, and a Scam verdict does not prove that anyone committed a crime. Always use your own judgement and check with the organisation directly.
Not legal or financial advice
Nothing in Scam Shield is legal, financial or professional advice. For losses or crimes, contact your bank, your wallet provider, NCCIA or the police.
Fair use
Free checks are limited each day to keep the service fast for everyone. Do not use Scam Shield to send spam, to harass anyone or to test scams of your own.
Helplines and links
Helpline numbers and websites are listed to help you act quickly. Numbers can change, so confirm them on your card or in the official app.
No public accusations
Scam Shield never names people or businesses publicly. Shared cards show only the type of scam.
Changes
We may update these terms as the service grows. The latest version is always on this page.
