BOCA RATON, Fla. and Clarksburg, Md. | RangersAI, creator of the ScamRanger scam prevention platform, and Give an Hour, a national organization dedicated to providing mental health support to those impacted by human-made trauma, announced a collaboration to support participants and peer communities with tools focused on scam awareness, education, and early intervention.
The collaboration will introduce ScamRanger, an AI-powered mobile application designed to help users identify suspicious messages, understand scam tactics, and receive guidance on safe next steps before scams escalate.
Unlike traditional fraud systems that focus on suspicious financial activity when a transaction occurs, ScamRanger is designed to intervene earlier, at the point of initial contact, where social engineering, emotional manipulation, and trust exploitation often begin.
The collaboration comes at a time when trust in digital communication is rapidly eroding. Industry research shows that many consumers now hesitate to respond even to legitimate fraud alerts because they are unsure whether the communication itself is authentic.
“Scams today exploit trust and emotion as much as technology,” said Ayelet Biger-Levin, Founder and CEO of RangersAI. “We are entering a period where consumers increasingly struggle to distinguish between legitimate and fraudulent communications online. Prevention must combine technology, education, transparency, and compassionate guidance to help people rebuild confidence and recognize manipulation before financial or emotional harm occurs.”
As part of the collaboration, Give an Hour facilitators and participants will have access to scam-checking capabilities, educational resources, safety guidance, and customized messaging tailored to their community needs.
The initiative reflects a growing recognition that scam prevention requires a more human-centered approach, particularly for vulnerable populations and individuals who may be experiencing emotional stress, isolation, or re-victimization risks.
Research and lived experience continue to demonstrate that the effects of scams extend beyond financial loss. Many individuals impacted by fraud report feelings of shame, anxiety, grief, isolation, and diminished trust in themselves and others. By combining education, technology, and community support, the collaboration aims to help individuals recognize scams earlier while also addressing the emotional impact that often follows victimization.
“Fraud and scams can affect much more than a person's finances, they can impact confidence, trust, relationships, and overall well-being,” said Dr. Trina Clayeux, CEO of Give an Hour. “As scams become increasingly sophisticated, we believe individuals deserve access to resources that help them feel informed, supported, and empowered. This collaboration reflects our commitment to addressing the human impact of fraud while helping people build resilience and confidence in a rapidly changing digital world.”
The collaboration builds upon Give an Hour’s broader efforts to address the mental health impacts of financial fraud through peer support, educational programming, community partnerships, and public awareness initiatives. Together, the organizations hope to contribute to a growing national conversation about prevention, response, recovery, and the importance of supporting individuals affected by scams and fraud.
The partnership has moved into implementation, with facilitator education, participant onboarding sessions, and awareness content now being delivered to participants. An initial cohort of users is already active on the platform, providing early engagement and feedback.
