Scam Checker is automated guidance based on common scam patterns. It is not a guarantee of safety or danger. Use it alongside your own judgement — not instead of it.
Results are informational only
A Low / Medium / High risk rating is our best interpretation of the patterns in the content you pasted. It is not a verdict. It is not legal, financial, or cybersecurity advice.
When to escalate to a human
For anything with real consequences, contact:
- Your bank or card issuer for suspected unauthorised payments (use the number on the back of your card, never one in the suspicious message).
- Your platform's support team (Apple, Google, Microsoft, Meta, etc.) for account takeover concerns.
- Police or cybercrime authority in your country — see global scam reporting.
- A legal professional for matters that need legal advice.
False positives and false negatives
The checker may flag legitimate messages as suspicious or miss new / sophisticated scams. Always verify high-stakes claims through an independent channel — ideally one you went to first, not one the suspicious message gave you.
We can't recover funds
Scam Checker does not recover money, retrieve stolen accounts, or chase scammers. Anyone offering you a "recovery service" in our name is themselves a scam — please report it to us via the contact page.
Third-party links
Links to external agencies (FTC, IC3, Action Fraud, Scamwatch, NCSC, CISA, Microsoft, Google, Apple, etc.) are provided as helpful jumping-off points. We are not responsible for content or privacy practices on those sites.
No warranty
Scam Checker is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. To the extent permitted by law, we're not liable for damages or losses arising from your use of the tool or any decision you make based on its output. Specific regional consumer-protection rights that can't be excluded by contract still apply.
