Scam Message Checker for Suspicious SMS, Emails and Popups
Paste the wording from a suspicious SMS, email, delivery notice, bank alert, MyGov-style message or popup. The checker looks for common scam signals and gives safer next steps before you click, reply, call back or pay.
Check a suspicious message before you click
Do not paste bank passwords, one-time codes or full card numbers. A short copy of the suspicious wording is enough.
Why this scam checker helps
Scam messages work by rushing people. They pretend to be familiar brands, government services, banks, couriers, telcos or tech companies, then push you to click, verify, pay or install something. This tool slows the moment down and turns the warning signs into plain English.
A low result does not prove a message is safe. It simply means the checker did not find strong signals in the text you entered. Always verify important messages through official apps, saved phone numbers or websites you type yourself.

Scam message checker questions
Can this tell me with certainty that a message is a scam?
No. The result is indicative only. It checks for common scam signals, but scammers change wording often. Treat any unexpected message about money, passwords, delivery fees, remote access or account suspension with caution.
Should I paste my password, bank code or one-time code into the tool?
No. Do not paste passwords, one-time codes, card numbers or full identity details. A short copy of the suspicious wording is enough for the checker.
What should I do if I already clicked the link?
If you clicked but did not enter details, close the page and verify through the official app or website. If you entered login, bank or identity details, change important passwords from a clean device and contact the relevant provider.
What if I gave someone remote access?
Disconnect the device from the internet, stop using it for banking and get help quickly. Remote-access scams can expose passwords, files and saved browser sessions.
Is anything sent to Your IT and Tech Mates automatically?
No. The checker runs in your browser. You decide whether to call, WhatsApp or copy the result into Quick Help.
