Phishing emails cost users billions each year and the AI-generated ones look perfect. Paste any suspicious email below — ScamGuard's AI gives you a verdict in seconds, no clicking required.
A phishing email impersonates a trusted brand (bank, courier, Microsoft, PayPal) to trick you into clicking a malicious link, opening a malware attachment, or replying with passwords, OTPs or payment details.
1) Sender address doesn't match the brand domain, 2) urgent threat ('your account will be closed'), 3) generic greeting ('Dear customer'), 4) lookalike link (hover before clicking), 5) unexpected attachment, 6) spelling/grammar errors, 7) request for password or OTP, 8) payment in gift cards or crypto, 9) reply-to address differs from sender.
Paste the suspicious message into ScamGuard. Our AI scans the sender, links, language and known patterns and gives a verdict in seconds — without you having to click anything.
Don't enter any data. Close the tab. Change the password for the impersonated service immediately (from a known-good URL). Run a virus scan. If you entered card details, call your bank and freeze the card.
No — AI-generated phishing in 2025+ is grammatically perfect and personalized. Trust the technical signals (sender domain, link destination, urgency) over the writing quality.
Forward to reportphishing@apwg.org, your email provider's abuse address (e.g. phishing@paypal.com for PayPal), and submit it to ScamGuard so we warn other users about the campaign.
