Scampedia is a scam encyclopedia written daily by an AI that searches real news and government sources, verifies its own citations automatically, and can't publish anything without a human merging it first.
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.
Every entry becomes a pull request, not a live page, until someone reviews and merges it. There's no automatic path around that.
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.
