See the difference you make in the fight against scams We know you care about making your community safer. Now, with our latest update, you'll know when your report helps stop a scam. Get notified: Receive a notification when a number you reported is officially marked as scam-related by the authorities. Track your impact: View a history of numbers you reported that have been marked as scam-related, so you can see the impact of your reports. You're always in control: Want fewer updates? Notification settings are easy to manage within the app. These new features are here because so many of you asked for more feedback on your reports. Thank you for helping us improve ScamShield and keeping everyone safe.

Description

ScamShield: Your scam-fighting sidekick ScamShield protects you by blocking scam calls, filtering scam SMSes, and letting you check suspicious messages before clicking anything regrettable. Here’s what ScamShield can do: [New] Get notified when a number you reported gets marked as scam-related - When the authorities mark a number you reported as possibly used by scammers, we’ll send you a push notification. You can also view a history of numbers you reported that have been marked as scam-related. Spot a scam before it gets you - Came across a suspicious link, message, or phone number? Paste it in to see if it might be a scam. You can even upload screenshots - works for SMS, WhatsApp, and Telegram too. Block and filter scam calls & SMSes - Follow our quick setup guide to block known scam numbers and filter out sketchy messages. Report suspicious calls, messages, and links - Help the community by reporting scams - with screenshots if you have them. The more we know, the better we can protect everyone. Heads up: Submitting a scam report in the app isn't the same as filing an official police report. If you've been scammed, please file an e-report with the Singapore Police Force. Download ScamShield for yourself and your loved ones - because a little protection goes a long way. We may occasionally prompt you to refresh the ScamShield app, which helps with performance and security. The prompt to refresh will appear when you open the app, and does not require you to visit the App Store to update to the latest version. Feedback? Ideas? Love letters? Tell us at go.gov.sg/scamshield-share-feedback ScamShield is built by Open Government Products, in collaboration with the Singapore Police Force (SPF) and the National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC).
