Why We Built the Scam Detector
Social media scams cost Americans $2.7 billion in 2023 alone (FTC). Phishing emails, fake texts, and fraudulent DMs hit more people than ever, and they are getting harder to spot. We publish over a dozen scam education guides, but when you are staring at a suspicious message right now, you need an answer in 30 seconds, not a 2,000-word article.
Three Ways to Check
1. Paste a Suspicious Text or Email, Copy the entire message and paste it in. The AI scans for urgency tactics, impersonation, requests for sensitive info, and known scam patterns.
2. Upload a Screenshot, Drop in a screenshot of a suspicious text, pop-up, or social media message. Visual analysis reads the content and identifies fraud indicators.
3. Check a Suspicious Link, Paste a sketchy URL. The tool analyzes the domain structure for phishing indicators without visiting the link.
