Carefull Launches ScamCheck to Protect Older Adults from Fraud

BusinessWireApril 14, 20254 min

Carefull, the first financial safety platform built specifically for older adults and their families, announces the launch of Carefull ScamCheck, an AI-powered scam detection tool designed to instantly detect, analyze, and prevent scams before they cause financial harm.

With financial fraud and scams on the rise, Carefull ScamCheck empowers users to quickly determine whether a text message, email, voicemail, or piece of physical mail is likely a scam—providing easy-to-understand results with expert-backed guidance on what to do next.

“We are all barraged with text messages about unpaid tolls, package delivery issues, and job offers that represent increasingly clever attempts to lure us into scam traps. There are new ones every day, but the best way to stop a scam is simply to never engage with it in the first place. That’s why we built ScamCheck, to help people de-code the strange messages they now get daily and understand exactly how to handle them before they become a problem,” said Max Goldman, Co-Founder of Carefull. “And we built it for the people who need it most: older adults and those who help protect them.”

Carefull ScamCheck uses large language models paired with Carefull’s deep fraud, elder fraud, and scam expertise, to evaluate suspicious content and determine whether it is likely a scam along with a clear explanation and step-by-step guidance on what to do next. Carefull ScamCheck is a proprietary system developed by Carefull, grounded in years of extensive fraud expertise and designed to detect and prevent scams with intelligence tailored to real-world financial threats.

For banks, credit unions, and financial advisors, Carefull ScamCheck provides a powerful, proactive layer of protection that builds trust, strengthens relationships, and reduces fraud-related losses. Carefull clients can integrate ScamCheck into their public websites, fraud centers, online banking, or directly within customer communications.

ScamCheck is already live and in use by Carefull members and partner institutions, serving as a frontline defense against everything from phishing attacks and romance scams to impersonation and tech support fraud. Its early results have been overwhelmingly positive, demonstrating that scam prevention can be smart and simple.
