The platform uses three independent AI experts — Anthropic Claude, OpenAI ChatGPT, and Google Gemini — combined with a database of 3,001 documented scam patterns, a community scam-reporting network, a daily scam quiz, and a scam library covering every major fraud type targeting Americans today. Available in English, Spanish, and Chinese.
NoScamForMe is part of a broader consumer protection ecosystem that includes ScamTaxHelp.com, which helps scam victims recover financial losses through the IRS tax code.

Harry Shurek, Founder
8 years in banking · 23 years in public accounting & taxes
Harry Shurek spent 8 years in banking and 23 years in public accounting and taxes before building NoScamForMe. After watching hundreds of clients lose money to scams — from lottery letters in the 1990s to cryptocurrency schemes today — he built the tool he wished existed: a way to check any suspicious message in 30 seconds, before the money leaves.
