Carefull Introduces ScamCheck Technology to Help Older Adults Amid Growing Scam Threats

Carefull announces the launch of Carefull ScamCheck, an AI-powered scam detection tool designed to instantly detect, analyze, and prevent scams before they cause financial harm. Read the full release on Businesswire.

With financial fraud and scams on the rise, Carefull ScamCheck empowers users to quickly determine whether a text message, email, voicemail, or piece of physical mail is likely a scam—providing easy-to-understand results with expert-backed guidance on what to do next.

“We are all barraged with text messages about unpaid tolls, package delivery issues, and job offers that represent increasingly clever attempts to lure us into scam traps. There are new ones every day, but the best way to stop a scam is simply to never engage with it in the first place. That’s why we built ScamCheck, to help people de-code the strange messages they now get daily and understand exactly how to handle them before they become a problem,” said Max Goldman, Co-Founder of Carefull. “And we built it for the people who need it most: older adults and those who help protect them.”
