04

The destination.

Where is that link really taking you?

05

The pattern.

Does the situation resemble a familiar tactic?

The next step.

How can you verify without taking the bait?

BEFORE YOU CHECK

A couple of useful answers.

What can I paste into the checker?

A suspicious message, email, URL, or phone number. For a call, paste a transcript or number. For a QR code, paste the destination link.

What should I do while I verify a request?

Pause before sending money or sharing information. Contact the person or organization through a website or number you find independently.

How bad is the scam problem, really?

Americans lost $15.9 billion to scams in 2025 — a record. Losses have quintupled since 2020. Only 2-6% of victims report it, meaning real losses may exceed $196 billion per year. Adults over 60 lost $3 billion, with six-figure losses growing nearly sevenfold in five years.

What types of scams does this catch?

Our engine detects 12 scam categories: urgency tactics, authority impersonation, financial demands (gift cards, crypto, wire transfers), credential theft, too-good-to-be-true offers, emotional manipulation, tech support scams, job scams, romance scams, suspicious links, advance fee fraud, and formatting red flags.
