Disclaimer

This tool provides educational scam risk guidance. It cannot guarantee that a message is safe or unsafe. Always verify through official channels before clicking links, sending money, or sharing personal information.

Independent & informational

Scam Message Checker is an independent scam-safety information website. It is not a police authority, bank, telecom provider, courier company, government service, or official brand support channel. It provides general, educational scam-safety information only - not legal, financial, banking, law-enforcement, government, or cybersecurity advice.

Not a guarantee

A low-risk result does not mean a message is genuine, and a high-risk result does not prove it is a scam. Use the result as one input, and always verify important messages through official channels you already trust.

Verify through official channels

Do not use phone numbers, links, QR codes, or email addresses inside a suspicious message. Open the organisation's official app or type its official website address yourself, or use a contact you already trust.

If you have lost money or shared sensitive details

Contact your bank or payment provider immediately to try to stop or reverse the transfer and secure your account. For urgent or criminal matters, contact your local police or official cybercrime channel. The reporting directory lists official places to report by country, and the recovery guides explain the first steps to take.

Not professional advice

Nothing here is legal, financial, or law-enforcement advice. If you have lost money or are in danger, contact your bank and local authorities through the reporting directory.

Brand names

Brand and company names are used only to describe common impersonation scams. This site is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of them.

Recovery scams

Be careful of anyone promising to recover your money for an upfront fee. This may be another scam.
