A companion that helps you spot a scam before it costs you anything.
Sfinco Personal Cyber Awareness Assistant checks suspicious messages, keeps a list of numbers you can actually trust, and keeps you a step ahead with the scams currently doing the rounds. Free to use, and everything stays on your device.
Prefer a real conversation instead?
A Digital Check-up covers a lot of the same ground: a real, plain-English conversation about your phone and accounts, done together on a call, no app required.
Six ways it looks out for you
-
Today's tip
One simple, plain-English cybersecurity habit a day, so keeping yourself safe becomes a small daily routine instead of a once-off lecture.
-
Check a message
Paste in a suspicious text or email, or upload a screenshot, and it's checked against the tactics real scams use: urgency, requests for your BSB or PIN, gift card payment demands, dodgy or shortened links, offers that sound too good to be true. Every flag comes with a plain-English explanation, so checking a message makes you feel sharp for asking, not silly. Nothing you paste in or upload leaves your device.
-
Who to call
A list of verified numbers for the ACSC, Scamwatch, IDCARE, Services Australia, the ATO, the big banks, and the major telcos, so you never have to call a number a scam message gave you. You can also save a trusted contact of your own, someone to ring when something feels off.

AI Safety
Plain-English coverage of the newest scams: voice-cloning calls that sound exactly like a family member, and deepfake videos of well-known faces promoting fake investments. Includes a simple family codeword trick and a way to check whether someone claiming to be a financial adviser is actually registered.
-
Practice
A short quiz built from real-style examples, so you can build the instinct for spotting a scam before you ever have to face a real one.
-
Scam Alerts
A running feed of real scam patterns currently targeting Australians: fake delivery fees, cloned family-member voices, phoney investment videos, and more, so you can recognise one before it ever reaches you. Alongside it, a short list of other free tools worth knowing, like Have I Been Pwned, for checking whether your email has turned up in a data breach.
What it isn't
Sfinco Personal Cyber Awareness Assistant doesn't connect to your bank accounts and doesn't give financial advice. If a future version ever did connect to real banking data, that would require accreditation under Australia's Consumer Data Right (CDR), and possibly an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL), before it touched a single account.
Add it to your home screen: no app store needed
Sfinco Personal Cyber Awareness Assistant works straight in your phone's browser, with no account and no download from a store. Add it to your home screen once and it opens just like any other app from then on.
-
On iPhone or iPad
Open the assistant in Safari, tap the Share icon, then choose Add to Home Screen.
-
On Android
Open the assistant in Chrome, tap the menu (⋮), then choose Add to Home screen or Install app.
