Who built this

Benjamin Ian Wilson has spent 15+ years on the defending side of the systems fraudsters abuse — CPaaS APIs, carrier networks, and enterprise messaging and voice platforms.

Scam Shield exists because the same attacks he sees hitting enterprises at scale reach individuals one message at a time, and almost nobody translates between the two.
