A free tool, built with AI

Scam Checker

Not sure if something is a scam? Answer a few simple questions, paste in a message or show it a photo of a text or email. It checks for the warning signs that banks and Report Fraud (the new name for Action Fraud) describe and tells you clearly what to do next.

What you're looking at

A second opinion, right when you need one

Everything happens right there in your browser — nothing you type or upload is ever sent anywhere or stored. Choose whichever feels easiest: answer a short guided quiz about what happened, paste in the message itself, or upload a photo of a text or email and let it read the words for you. Either way, you'll get a plain-English explanation of what looks off, plus real UK numbers to call if you need to report something or talk it through.

Want to understand the tricks scammers use in more detail, with real examples and the exact words to type? Read Kevin's guide, Spot the scam.

"Scams are the thing people worry about most, so this felt like the most important tool to build. It won't catch everything, but it gives you a calm, clear second opinion in the moment you need it."

— Kevin, on why this tool is on the site
