Smarter Scam Defense
Scammers don't hack computers. They hack people. Learn how GranGuard helps keep you protected.
Our Approach
Most scam protection products try to block threats before they reach you. Spam filters. Call blockers. These tools can help, but they leave a dangerous gap.
The most damaging scams don't get caught by filters. They come through as ordinary emails, phone calls, text messages, and websites. They work because they're designed to manipulate people, not systems. No algorithm can protect you from a convincing voice on the phone pretending to be your bank.
That's why GranGuard takes a different approach. Instead of trying to build a wall between you and scammers, we help you spot threats for yourself. We teach the skills that make you genuinely harder to fool. Skills that work whether you're at your computer, on your phone, or answering the door.
This isn't about making you paranoid. It's about giving you the confidence to spot what's real and what isn't, so you can stay connected to the world without constantly second-guessing yourself.
Training
Why It Matters
Scammers succeed because they understand how people think. They create urgency so you don't have time to reflect. They impersonate authorities so you feel obligated to comply. They offer things that seem too good to pass up. These aren't technical exploits. They're psychological ones.
The best defense is understanding how these tactics work. When you can recognise the pressure techniques, the emotional manipulation, and the telltale signs of a scam in progress, you become genuinely harder to deceive.
How GranGuard Helps
Structured Learning
Our training follows a curriculum built around seven core competencies: recognising scam patterns, verifying suspicious contacts, responding safely when targeted, preventing exposure in the first place, navigating digital tools confidently, protecting your financial information, and communicating with family about threats.
Practical, Not Theoretical
Every lesson connects to real scenarios. You'll work through examples based on actual scams, see how they unfold step by step, and practice the specific responses that keep you safe. Our "Spot the Scam" exercises let you test your instincts in a safe environment, so you build confidence before you need it.
Designed for How People Actually Learn
Short sessions. Clear language. No jargon. Progress at your own pace, revisit anything you want to review, and track your advancement through each competency area.
Always Current
Scammers constantly evolve their tactics. Our training content is regularly updated to reflect new threats as they emerge, so you're learning to spot what's actually happening now, not what was common five years ago.
Tools
Why They Matter
Scammers count on you not knowing what's already out there. Your email address, phone number, or passwords may have been exposed in breaches you never heard about. And when a dodgy link lands in your inbox, you need a way to check it without putting yourself at risk. Tools give you visibility into your own exposure and a reliable way to verify things before they become a problem.
How GranGuard Helps
The Scam Library
A growing library of documented scam types, organised so you can quickly find what you're looking for. Each entry explains how the scam works, what warning signs to watch for, and exactly what to do if you encounter it. The library is searchable and regularly expanded as new scams emerge.
Verification Guides
Step-by-step instructions for checking whether a contact is legitimate—calls, emails, websites. Specific, repeatable procedures you can follow.
Privacy Checkups
Guided walkthroughs to reduce your exposure online: review what's publicly visible, tighten privacy settings, and understand what data you're sharing and with whom.
Quick Reference Materials
Printable guides, checklists, and reminder cards you can keep by your phone or computer for in-the-moment reminders.
Support
Why It Matters
Even with training and tools, questions come up. Situations don't always fit neatly into categories. Sometimes you need to talk through something specific, or you want a second opinion before taking action.
And if something does go wrong, knowing exactly what to do, and having someone to guide you through it, can limit the damage and speed your recovery.
