TrustShield for everyday digital life
Check an invoice or account alert before your business acts
Business messages often borrow the language of vendors, renewals, banks, and fraud teams. A familiar logo or urgent subject line is not an independent check of the sender or payment details.
TrustShield looks for common warning signs. It cannot prove that a message is safe or fraudulent, so verify requests through a separate channel you already trust.
Warning signs to slow down for
- A renewal or unexpected charge asks you to use a supplied link or phone number.
- A supposed bank representative asks for a verification code or tells you to move money.
- A renewal or fraud warning uses a deadline to push you toward a supplied link or phone number.
Safer checks you can make
- Confirm any payment request with a known contact through details already in your records.
- Open the real account or call the number on the card instead of using the message link.
- Never share a one-time verification code with someone who contacted you.
