Fewer alerts, and more useful ones. Scammer Defence now waits for two blocked sites within two minutes before sending a text, and the text names both sites and the times they were blocked. Why: background ad tags for banks and payment providers sit on the same blocklist as the real thing, and a single one loading could trigger a text with nobody touching the phone. Two separate attempts close together is a person being walked through something. A scam in progress still alerts. If a remote access tool is blocked and tried again, or a different one is tried instead, that counts as two attempts and the text goes out. If a remote access tool and a banking site are both blocked within the same couple of minutes, the text says so specifically, because that combination is how tech support scams work. Scam and phishing sites opened in a browser still alert on the first one. Sites are still blocked immediately either way. The change is only to when you get a text.
Scammer Defence sends you a text message when someone you care about visits a known scam, banking or remote-access website on their phone. It is built for families. You set it up once on a parent's or grandparent's phone, put your own mobile number in, and then you can stop worrying. If a scam site is opened, a bank is visited, or a remote access tool is reached, you get a text. If nothing happens, you hear nothing. WHY TEXT ALERTS Most security apps bury warnings inside the app, where the person being targeted is the only one who sees them, and scammers are very good at talking people past a warning screen. A text goes to you instead, on your own phone, while there is still time to phone them. RARE BY DESIGN Ordinary browsing touches dozens of ad and tracking domains a minute. Alerting on all of that would be useless. Scammer Defence stays quiet unless something genuinely matters: - A banking or financial site is opened - A remote access tool such as TeamViewer, AnyDesk or ScreenConnect is reached - A known phishing or scam site is opened in the browser - Maximum 3 alerts per day, and never twice for the same site within 6 hours You choose which of these you want. Each protection is a switch, and alerts only follow the switches you turn on. BLOCKING, NOT JUST WATCHING Scam, banking and remote-access domains are blocked outright before the page can load. The blocklists refresh daily, so newly registered scam sites and newly popular remote access tools are covered without waiting for an app update. RUNS ON THE DEVICE Protection filters traffic locally using a VPN profile. Your browsing is not routed through our servers and is not sold, shared or profiled. The only thing that ever leaves the phone is the alert itself. SIMPLE ENOUGH FOR ANYONE One screen. Four switches. A protection level you can read at a glance. Set a PIN so nobody can be talked into switching protection off. SUBSCRIPTION Scammer Defence is free to download.
