An answer in seconds, not jargon.

A clear Safe / Caution / Scam answer — plus exactly why, in plain English.
The analysis

Six things we check in every message.

Our AI doesn't just look for keywords. It evaluates the message the way an experienced fraud investigator would.

🗣️
The language
Urgency, threats, prize promises, secrecy demands — the psychological pressure tactics that appear in nearly every scam script, in any wording.
📇
The sender
Phone numbers and email addresses are checked against millions of publicly reported scam senders our AI has learned from, sharpened by every user check.
💳
The ask
Gift cards, wire transfers, crypto, remote access, one-time codes. What a message wants you to do is the strongest scam signal there is.
🔗
The links
Lookalike domains, URL shorteners hiding destinations, and fake login pages designed to harvest your passwords.
📜
The script
Scammers reuse scripts on thousands of victims. Even reworded, the structure matches patterns our network has already fingerprinted.
🧩
The context
An unexpected job offer, an overpaying buyer, a “bank” texting from a personal number — mismatches between who's talking and how they're talking.
Clear verdicts

Three answers. That's it.

Every check ends with one of these — and exactly why.

✓
Likely Safe
No clear scam signs. We’ll still flag anything worth a second look.
!
Use Caution
Some warning signs. Slow down and verify before you act.
!
High Scam Risk
This looks like a scam. Don’t reply, click, or send money.
The Scambook network

Scam intelligence that grows with every check.

Our AI is trained on the internet's collective record of scams — millions of publicly reported scam messages, senders, and scripts — and every user check sharpens it further.

From paste to verdict
24/7
Learning from every check
Every check makes it smarter
When anyone checks a message, number, or email, the anonymized scam signals feed back into the database — so the next person is even better protected.
Numbers and emails with a history
Scammers reuse phone numbers, email addresses, and scripts. Our AI draws on the internet's collective record of reported scams, so repeat offenders get caught fast.
New scams, spotted early
When a fresh scam script starts circulating, our network sees it within hours — not weeks — and every user benefits from the update immediately.

Privacy first: message contents are never stored. Only anonymized scam signals — like a flagged phone number or a known scam script pattern — are added to the database.

Try it on your next suspicious text.

Join the waitlist and be first to know when the app goes live.
