AI Scam Check
Got a weird email, text, chat, or job offer? Paste it or upload a screenshot. The light tells you if it looks fishy, and shows you exactly what gave it away, so you'll spot the next one on your own.
How the light works
AI Scam Check looks for the tricks scammers use over and over. Every warning comes with a plain-English reason, because the point is to teach you the tell, not just flash a color.
Stop.
We found a serious sign, like a request for gift cards, your bank number, or a fake look-alike website. Don't reply, click, or send anything.
Slow down.
Something doesn't add up, like a rush to act now or a shortened link. It might be fine. Check the reasons before you go further.
Nothing obvious.
None of the common tricks showed up. That's a good sign, not a guarantee. If money or personal info comes up later, check again.
Three rules that beat most scams
Gift cards = scam
No real company, government office, or grandkid in trouble asks to be paid in gift cards. Ever.
Hang up and call back
Call the company or your family member using a number you already have, not the one in the message.
Rushed? Wait.
Scammers rush you so you don't stop and think. Anything real will still be there tomorrow.
AI Scam Check catches the common tricks. It can't catch everything. If you think you've already been scammed, call your bank right away and report it at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
