Why ScamSkeptic?
From the author: As an IT professional working in various Fortune 500 companies, I've had the privilege of receiving training every year on how to identify and avoid scams. Big corporations provide that training to their employees. But my parents don't get that training. Neither do many of my friends. I wanted to build an app that teaches everyone the same basic principles that we are taught.
