Brand impersonation is the most common high-yield phishing route in the world. Capital One Impersonation Scam Checker catches the lookalike domain, the spoofed sender and the urgency hooks that work on everyone the first time. Paste the link or upload a screenshot of the message into ScamGuard — you'll get a clear verdict, a plain-language reason, and the next step. Works on phone, desktop and WhatsApp.
You're billed for an order you never placed. The 'cancel' phone number connects to a fake-support call centre that asks for remote access.
