A free scam talk kit for police officers, sheriff's deputies and crime prevention leads, with new examples of the scams reaching people every month.
TAMPA, Fla. – Flggd today launched Scam Detectives, a free talk kit that lets any police officer, sheriff's deputy or crime prevention lead give residents a talk on the scams reaching their phones right now.
Police officers and sheriff's deputies already do a great deal to warn residents about scams. Scam Detectives is designed to support that work. Flggd tracks the scams reaching people's phones every day, and the kit puts those examples in officers' hands each month, ready to use however they choose.
The kit includes slides, a handout and a QR card residents take home so they can check a suspicious message in seconds. Each month agencies receive new examples from scams currently in circulation, with local reporting numbers. The kit is free to every agency, with no contract. Agencies can start a local chapter and join a monthly call with other chapter leads.
“Officers are already out in their communities warning people about scams, and residents listen to them,” said Richard Stocks, CEO and co-founder of Flggd. “We see thousands of scam messages, and this is one small way we can share what we're seeing with the people doing that work. If it saves an officer an hour, or helps one resident stop before they pay, it's worth it.”
For International Fraud Awareness Week, 15 to 21 November 2026, Flggd is inviting agencies across the US and beyond to run a Scam Detectives talk.

Flggd helps people spot scams before they pay. Anyone can check a suspicious text or screenshot for free on the web, or scan a QR code in the Flggd app, and learn the patterns through short guides and games. Banks and credit unions offer SafeLine, so their members can check a message before acting.
