About ScamShield UK

What is ScamShield UK?

ScamShield UK (scamshield.org.uk) is a free AI-powered tool that helps people in the United Kingdom check suspicious messages, emails, phone numbers, and websites for signs of fraud. It was created to give everyday people a quick, plain-English way to find out if something is a scam.

The tool analyses messages against 50+ known fraud patterns, provides instant threat intelligence reports, and directs users to the correct official UK reporting channels.

What We Are NOT

To be completely transparent:

• We are not a government website — not UK, not Singapore, not any government
• We are not affiliated with Action Fraud, the FCA, the police, or any official body
• We are not the Singapore ScamShield (scamshield.gov.sg) — that is a separate government initiative
• We do not collect personal data, passwords, or bank details
• We do not store messages — all analysis happens in real time and is deleted immediately
