Tools, Guides & Reference

Resources to help you stay organized, informed and ready to respond.

This area of the site is where we collect the practical stuff — guides, templates and references you can use when you’re dealing with scams, debt collectors, credit report problems or unfair treatment from businesses. Some resources are available now; others are being built out as ScamShield grows.

Featured resources.

These are some of the key tools and references we’re focusing on as the project grows:

Where this is heading.

Organized, not overwhelming

A lot of “help” online is either overwhelming or too basic. Our goal is to keep things focused and organized — tools and guides that point to clear, realistic next steps.

  • Short guides tied to specific problems.
  • Checklists you can actually follow.
  • Templates you can review and adapt.
Built around real stories

As we hear from more people using ScamShield and our other tools, we’ll keep adjusting what resources we publish and how they’re organized. The goal is for this page to feel more like a toolbox and less like a library you don’t have time to dig through.
