What we detect
Built specifically for the scams targeting Canadians most.
CRA Impersonation
The Canada Revenue Agency never sends SMS messages, demands gift card payments, or threatens immediate arrest. Scam Shield catches every fake CRA contact instantly.
Bank Phishing Pages
Fake login pages mimicking RBC, TD, Scotiabank, BMO, and CIBC are among the most common attacks. We detect them before you enter a single character.
Benefit & CERB Fraud
Scammers exploit confusion around CERB, OAS, CPP, and EI payments. Scam Shield identifies fake benefit collection pages and fraudulent government impersonators.
SMS & Phone Scams
Gift card demands, urgency tactics, SIN number requests, and prize fraud — analyzed instantly against known Canadian scam patterns.
Phishing URLs
IP-based links, suspicious domains, and URL shorteners used to hide malicious destinations are flagged before you click.
Interac e-Transfer Fraud
Fake Interac pages and spoofed e-Transfer notifications are a growing threat. Scam Shield detects impersonation attempts immediately.
Built for those most at risk.
Newcomers navigating an unfamiliar system. Seniors targeted by CRA impersonators. Everyday Canadians receiving suspicious texts and calls. Scam Shield was built for all of them.
