Frequently asked questions

What does a scam detector do?

It analyzes the input (email, SMS, WhatsApp message, link, phone number, screenshot) against millions of known scam patterns and real-time community reports. ScamGuard then gives a plain-English verdict — safe, suspicious or scam — plus next steps.

Is the scam detector free?

Yes — 3 free checks with no signup. Premium covers unlimited checks plus deeper investigations.

How accurate is AI scam detection?

ScamGuard combines AI language analysis with real human-reported scams. AI catches new patterns; community reports catch what's circulating right now. The combination is significantly more accurate than either alone.

What can I check with ScamGuard?

Suspicious messages (email, SMS, WhatsApp), links and URLs, phone numbers, screenshots of messages, social media profiles, payment requests, and crypto addresses.

Is my input private?

Yes. Inputs aren't tied to your identity for free checks, and we don't share them with third parties. Reports you submit can be made public (anonymized) to warn others.

Why use ScamGuard over Google?

Google shows you websites; ScamGuard gives a direct verdict on the specific thing you're worried about, with the latest scam patterns and community reports baked in. Faster, clearer, no ads.
