About Scam Radar

Calm, plain-language help for spotting scams and protecting your accounts. Written for families and tiny offices.

What we do

We turn official advice from places like the FTC, CISA, and the FCC into short checklists, and we compare tools like password managers in plain words. Every guide lists its sources.

What we are not

• We are an independent information site, not a security company.
• We do not scan email, detect scams, or check messages for you.
• We do not give legal, financial, or professional security advice.
• We cannot promise any message, site, or product is safe.

How we write

• Free steps first (like a credit freeze) before anything you pay for.
• No fake urgency, no scare pop-ups, no made-up statistics.
• Comparison tables show facts we checked on the vendor's own page, with the date.
