Buying or selling on a marketplace? Wish Scam Checker reads the listing and the buyer / seller messages and tells you whether the deal looks safe or follows a known scam script. Paste the listing URL or upload a screenshot into ScamGuard — you'll get a clear verdict, a plain-language reason, and the next step. Works on phone, desktop and WhatsApp.
Seller asks for your address to 'send a label', then claims to have sent the item with a fake tracking number.
