Carefull ScamCheck is an AI-powered scam detection tool designed to instantly detect, analyze, and prevent scams before they cause financial harm.
With financial fraud and scams on the rise, Carefull ScamCheck empowers users to quickly determine whether a text message, email, voicemail, or piece of physical mail is likely a scam—providing easy-to-understand results with expert-backed guidance on what to do next.
'We are all barraged with text messages about unpaid tolls, package delivery issues, and job offers that represent increasingly clever attempts to lure us into scam traps. There are new ones every day, but the best way to stop a scam is simply to never engage with it in the first place. That's why we built ScamCheck, to help people de-code the strange messages they now get daily and understand exactly how to handle them before they become a problem,' said Max Goldman, Co-Founder of Carefull. 'And we built it for the people who need it most: older adults and those who help protect them.'
Carefull ScamCheck uses large language models paired with Carefull's deep fraud, elder fraud, and scam expertise, to evaluate suspicious content and determine whether it is likely a scam along with a clear explanation and step-by-step guidance on what to do next. Carefull ScamCheck is a proprietary system developed by Carefull, grounded in years of extensive fraud expertise and designed to detect and prevent scams with intelligence tailored to real-world financial threats.
For banks, credit unions, and financial advisors, Carefull ScamCheck provides a powerful, proactive layer of protection that builds trust, strengthens relationships, and reduces fraud-related losses. Carefull clients can integrate ScamCheck into their public websites, fraud centers, online banking, or directly within customer communications.
ScamCheck is already live and in use by Carefull members and partner institutions, serving as a frontline defense against everything from phishing attacks and romance scams to impersonation and tech support fraud. Its early results have been overwhelmingly positive, demonstrating that scam prevention can be smart and simple.

Uruguay Modernizes Data Infrastructure with Addition of PowerSchool Connected Intelligence K-12 and AI-Driven PowerBuddy for Learning
FOLSOM, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- PowerSchool, a leading provider of cloud-based software for K-12 education, today announced that Ceibal Digital Technology Center for Education Innovation (Ceibal), Uruguay's ambitious 1-to-1 technology and instruction program, has expanded its partnership with PowerSchool to advance the country's digital education transformation. Ceibal will now implement PowerSchool Connected Intelligence K-12 for data modernization and PowerBuddy for Learning, PowerSchool's AI-powered assistant for teaching and learning. Connected Intelligence K-12 is a data-as-a-service solution that centralizes educational data from multiple sources, enabling analysis to enhance decision making and improve public policy development. It empowers Ceibal to support its almost 700,000 students, by analyzing student engagement, tracking device usage, and addressing challenges like cyberbullying, by using AI tools. PowerBuddy for Learning works in conjunction with PowerSchool Schoology Learning, the Learning Management System (LMS) Ceibal has successfully used for several years. 'Once implemented, PowerSchool Connected Intelligence K-12 would allow us to make data-driven decisions at scale in a timely manner, which could be a huge change for Ceibal,' said Martin Anza, Information Technology Manager, Ceibal. Data-Driven Decision Making with Connected Intelligence K-12 Ceibal selected Connected Intelligence K-12 for its ease of use, scalability, and cost savings. The platform provides a K-12 specific data lake with pre-built data pipelines, monitoring, role-based access controls, and real-time data access. This selection led to Ceibal and PowerSchool's nomination for a 2025 BETT Award in the "Collaboration with a School, College, or University" category. Connected Intelligence K-12 enables transformative analytics capabilities, addressing key challenges such as identifying cyberbullying instances, uncovering student engagement patterns, and exploring relationships between online activity and academic performance. This efficiency allows Ceibal's business intelligence and IT teams to focus on other initiatives rather than manually integrating data sources. Connected Intelligence K-12 enhances education by streamlining data collection and analysis, giving teachers access to detailed student reports for personalized support. Predictive analysis tools help educators identify potential challenges for earlier interventions, keeping students on track. The system can track which students aren't logging into the LMS or completing activities, allowing teachers to provide additional help when needed. Ceibal and Schoology Learning Ceibal has successfully used PowerSchool Schoology Learning as its learning management system, yielding improvements in creating tailored curriculums, student-teacher collaboration, and facilitating blended learning environments. During the COVID-19 pandemic, over 93% of students and 94% of teachers in Uruguay utilized Schoology Learning. Schoology Learning is now the fourth most-used technology platform in Uruguay among children ages 9 to 17, trailing only YouTube, WhatsApp, and TikTok. AI-Enhanced Learning with PowerBuddy PowerBuddy for Learning works in conjunction with PowerSchool Schoology Learning, the LMS Ceibal has successfully used for several years. PowerBuddy for Learning will transform how Uruguay's students and teachers engage with technology-enhanced learning. Building on Ceibal's successful "one laptop per child" initiative and nationwide Wi-Fi in public schools, PowerBuddy integration will accelerate personalized learning at scale. Founded in 2007, Ceibal is a Uruguayan initiative dedicated toward creating more equitable solutions for students by supporting Uruguayan educational policies with technology. Since its implementation, the program has evolved to ensure every child who enters the public education system in any part of the country has access to a computer for personal use with free internet connection at school.
