Scam SafeGuard quietly checks every link before it opens — and warns you in plain English if something's not right.
We check unfamiliar links against Google's Web Risk feed, a commercial threat database — plus public scam blocklists.
The same lists security professionals rely on to spot fakes.
Tuned for the scams Australians actually get. Local accountability.
Designed to flag brand-new scam sites that aren't on any blocklist yet.
Scam links arrive in texts, emails, and social media posts that look completely real. By the time a fake site has loaded, the damage can already be done.
Scam SafeGuard checks the link first — and warns you before the page opens, so you get the chance to stop before any harm is done.
No setup, no learning curve. Add it once and it quietly works in the background.
One click to install. No account or credit card needed to start.
Shop, read your email, scroll social media. You won't notice a thing.
If a link looks risky, we hold the page and warn you first — in plain English — so you can decide.
Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok are now the most common source of scams. Click a link from social media and we check where it really goes — before it opens.
A website selling designer goods at impossible prices that launched last week? We check a site's age and patterns, and flag fake storefronts before you enter your card.
Got a dodgy SMS or WhatsApp? Paste it into "Check a Message" and we'll scan every link inside it in seconds. Perfect for the AusPost, myGov, or Linkt text that doesn't look right.
One click checks every link in an email at once. We pull out just the web addresses and check each one.
We never read the message itselfOther browser security tools ask for full access to your inbox. We don't. Our email feature reads only the web addresses (links) in a message — not your subject lines, message text, sender details, or attachments.
We see the address on the envelope, never what's written inside.
This is how the feature is designed to work.Scams aimed at older Australians are common and costly — and the fallout is stressful for the whole family. Catching a dangerous link early makes all the difference.

My background is in neuroscience — specifically how people think, decide, and get manipulated without realising it. Scam messages are engineered to exploit the same mental shortcuts that make us efficient: urgency, authority, familiarity, flow. When you're browsing normally, you're trusting. That's exactly when you're most vulnerable.
My PhD research focused on how digital design nudges people's decisions — the same levers scammers pull. I've also watched people I care about — people who are smart, careful, and capable — lose serious money to scams that were designed by professionals to be convincing. In some cases, life-changing amounts.
So I built Scam SafeGuard around one idea: protection that works with how people actually behave online, not against it. No friction. No jargon. Just a quiet layer that catches dangerous links before they do harm — whether you're technical or not.
