ScamShield™ - Australian Online Safety Guide | Interactive Scam Spotter for Seniors

🛡️ SCAMSHIELD© The Interactive Online Safety Guide Built for Australian Seniors

Australians lose billions to scams every year. The over-60s are the most targeted group — and the least served by the tools that exist to protect them.

ScamShield is different. It is not a PDF you read once and forget. It is an interactive guide that lives on your phone, works without internet, and gives you something to do in the moment when something feels wrong.

🎯 WHAT'S INSIDE

📧 SPOT THE SCAM - 7 Interactive Scenarios

Real-world examples of the most common Australian scams - bank emails, ATO phone calls, Australia Post texts, Medicare impersonation, romance scams, prize wins, and Microsoft tech support calls. Each scenario shows the actual scam with red flags highlighted, then reveals every warning sign in plain English. The more examples you see, the faster you spot the real thing.

✅ IS THIS A SCAM? - Quick Checker

Tap what kind of contact you received - email, text, phone call, website, or online contact - and work through a plain-English checklist. Red items, orange items, and green items. A clear verdict at the end. Use it every time something feels suspicious.

🎯 SCAM RISK SCORE

Answer 8 yes/no questions about a suspicious contact and receive an overall risk rating - Low Risk, Caution, High Risk, or Almost Certainly a Scam. The score updates in real time as you answer. Critical red flags (gift cards, being told to keep things secret) immediately trigger the highest warning level.

🧠 RED FLAGS QUIZ

Five real-world scenarios - tap whether each one is a scam or legitimate. The answer and a full explanation reveals immediately. Tests your instincts and builds pattern recognition. Great to share with family members.

🆘 WHAT TO DO NOW - Emergency Action Guide

The guide people desperately need in the moment after they realise they have been scammed. Five emergency pathways - sent money, gave bank details, gave computer access, shared personal details, clicked a link. Each gives a numbered action sequence in priority order with specific phone numbers and plain-English instructions.

📋 GOLDEN RULES, PASSWORDS & HELP LINES
