Americans lost $16.6 billion to internet crime in 2024. The median loss for someone over 80 was $1,650. The people most targeted are often the least equipped to recognize a scam. ScamSignal exists to change that.
Make scam literacy accessible to everyone — regardless of age, technical skill, or income. Provide plain-English education backed by verified government data, so people can protect themselves and the people they love.
Getting scammed is not a character flaw. It happens to smart, careful people every day. Our job is to teach, not judge.
Every statistic links to a primary source. When we don't have data, we say so.
Vague advice like 'be careful online' helps no one. We show you exactly what a scam looks like, word by word.
