The problem with scam news
By the time a scam makes the headlines, thousands of people have already lost money. Generic warnings are easy to ignore because most of them don’t apply to you. What you actually need is: *“what is targeting people like me, right now?”*
That is exactly what Scam Radar does.
How Scam Radar works
You tell GuardScan two simple things:
Scam Radar then keeps watch and surfaces the threats most likely to reach you, drawing on our constantly-updated scam database and threat reports.
Instead of drowning in generic security news, you get a focused feed of what matters to *you*.
Why personalised alerts work
Scams travel in waves. A fake-delivery text campaign hitting the Netherlands this week will often reach Germany and the UK next. A crypto “investment platform” shut down in one country reopens under a new name in another.
When you know a wave is coming, you recognise it instantly — and a scam you recognise is a scam that fails.
Set it up in seconds
Scam Radar is a GuardScan Pro feature. Choose your regions and scam types, switch on alerts, and you’re done. You can preview the threats on your radar right away, and Pro members receive an ongoing personalised digest.
This is part of what makes Pro much more than a scanner — it’s continuous protection that works even when you’re not actively checking a message.
