Kidas Launches AI-Powered Scam Detection Suite

New White Label Solutions Prevent Text, Email, Voice and Chatbot Scams, Addressing $12.5 Billion Consumer Fraud Crisis in the U.S.

PHILADELPHIA, September 4, 2025Kidas (the “Company”), a leading technology company specializing in AI-powered tools to protect individuals and organizations from online scams and other digital threats online, today announced the launch of its advanced scam detection product suite, designed to enable brands, platforms and service providers to protect their customers against increasingly sophisticated digital fraud. These new products represent a significant evolution in Kidas’ go-to-market strategy, expanding the Company’s offerings beyond PC video gaming into broader, exponentially larger consumer security and fraud-prevention markets.

Last year alone, according to the Federal Trade Commission, U.S. consumers lost $12.5 billion to fraud – a 25 percent increase from the prior year – with email, phone and text scams among the most commonly used tactics. Kidas’ scam detection product suite directly addresses this rising threat, offering adaptive AI-based protection against scams that exploit users across digital (computers, mobile devices and tablets) communication channels. Leveraging the same proprietary technology behind its award-winning ProtectMe software, Kidas’ white label solutions can be seamlessly integrated into partner platforms without disrupting existing systems. 

The new offerings include: 

  • SMS scam detection: Flags scam text messages using AI trained on SMS data. The software runs directly on users’ devices to identify and block threats in real time, supporting both iOS and Android platforms.
  • Email protection: Designed to help partners detect and block fraudulent or deceptive emails across Gmail, Outlook and other major providers.
  • Scam detection chatbot: Allows users to copy or record a conversation and receive an AI-driven analysis indicating whether they are interacting with a real person or a scammer. Delivers instant safety reports to protect users. 
  • Voice / deepfake detection: Alerts users when someone may be using a voice changer or impersonating another individual. Also provides real-time protection against deep-fake videos and audio scams, including those targeting employees during virtual meetings.
  • Custom technology builds: Offers custom-built scam detection systems tailored to the unique needs of enterprise partners and their customers.

“Kidas’ expansion into consumer and enterprise scams serves a significant market while staying true to our mission of making digital environments safer for everyone,” said Ron Kerbs, Founder and CEO of Kidas. “We’re applying the same AI-powered technology that has analyzed more than 87 million conversations and safeguarded nearly 1 million end users to help defend people everywhere against scams, opening up new revenue opportunities for Kidas. At the same time, we remain committed to maintaining our gaming products, ProtectMe and ProtectMe Bot, which continue to provide trusted protection for young gamers and their families alongside our new enterprise offerings.”

“Kidas’ entrance into scam detection comes at a time when organizations are urgently looking for smarter ways to combat digital scams, such as fake bank texts, phishing emails and deep-fake voice calls,” added Rob Seaver, member of the Kidas Board of Directors. “The ability to apply the Company’s core technology to a high-demand market speaks to both vision and execution, as well as positions Kidas to drive meaningful growth in the next phase of its evolution.”
