Scampedia is a scam encyclopedia written daily by an AI that searches real news and government sources, verifies its own citations automatically, and runs every claim through a second, independent fact-check pass against that exact source before anything publishes.
Every entry starts as a real pattern, gets written up in plain language, and stays connected to live protection.
Once a day, an AI searches real news, FTC, FBI, and BBB sources for a genuinely new scam trend. It never invents one, and skips the day entirely if it doesn't find something solid.
Every citation is verified before anything gets further: the link has to actually resolve, and the page it points to has to genuinely be about this specific scam, not just exist.
A second, independent AI pass checks every specific claim in the entry against the real text of its own cited source and blocks anything unsupported. Nothing publishes on the first pass's word alone.
Grandparent scams, IRS fraud, romance scams, crypto schemes, AI voice clones, and more — each with its own article.
Browse by scam type or alphabetically, with cross-links between related patterns — wiki-style.
New entries are surfaced by VerifyGuard's AI and written with real, cited sourcing — not guesswork.
Every article here is also live inside the VerifyGuard app, so what you read powers real-time detection.
A new scam pattern is researched, verified, and added most days — this isn't a static list that goes stale.
No account, no paywall. Scampedia is a public safety resource, for anyone.
A sample of documented scams, each with safety tips written in plain English.
Scampedia documents the scams. VerifyGuard is the app that scans your photos, links, and news for them — free to start.
