Quick answer: ScamReporting.org’s free scam tools help you check a suspicious text, email, website, phone number, or crypto wallet before you reply, click, or pay. These are rule-based screeners trained on patterns from our published scam alerts — not law enforcement, and not a guarantee any message or site is safe.
Privacy: Message and URL checks run in memory. We do not store what you paste for marketing. A clean result never means “safe” — always verify through an official app or a number/URL you look up yourself.

How these tools work (and their limits)
Our checkers score language and payment patterns, brand look-alike domains, and senders indexed from editor-reviewed alerts. Scam Stats shows which themes appear most in that published inventory.
They do not replace bank fraud desks, carrier spam filters, or official reporting. They will miss brand-new scripts until we publish matching alerts or teach new patterns. If anything still feels wrong after a clean score, stop and verify offline.
When you are ready to warn others, report a scam. For deeper guides by fraud type, browse Scam Types.
