Edwin Karter (ID: 0000000245c319e8) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/08/2023 I faced a problem with the Scam Sniffer security application when I tried to activate my Skype account. It blocked my payment card and sent me an alert message that my account was not safe and the transaction could not be completed. Later, I realized that this application was actually a hacking tool that used password cracking, brute force scripts, sniffing, and information-gathering techniques to steal my data.

Bonga Ngubo (ID: 000000c93aa3f099) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/27/2023 This should help with those Airdrop scams that are popping up right now. But quick question, is it decentralized? Would be cool to find a similar app where all users can come in and report a scam and alert other users. Someone just lost $100K+ from such, crazy huh?
