Cyber Forensics & Security Student · Builder of ScamKit
Hi — I’m Isaiah Shawver, a cyber-forensics and security student and the person behind ScamKit. I build tools that help everyday people answer one stressful question fast: “Is this a scam?”
I started ScamKit because the people who get hit hardest usually aren’t technical — a parent, a grandparent, a friend who’s busy and distracted. Scams work by hiding the warning signs: a domain that’s off by one letter, a subject line engineered to make you panic, a failed authentication check buried in email headers. ScamKit pulls those signals into plain English so anyone can see what’s actually going on.
Everything here is free, needs no sign-up, and runs as much in your browser as possible. No fear-mongering, no upsells dressed up as protection, no thirty-tab security dashboard — just a clear answer and the right next step, whether that’s slowing down, reporting a phishing email, or locking down an account after a mistake.
It’s a living project — I’m constantly adding scanners, guides, and write-ups as new scams appear, and I read every message that comes through the contact form.
I post scam alerts, breakdowns, and updates on X as @ShawverTech — follow along to stay ahead of what’s going around.
