How Scams.id Works

1. Check a suspicious message

Paste any suspicious text, email, or DM into our free AI Scam Message Analyzer for an instant, general red-flag check.

2. Learn the pattern

Browse our plain-English guides to understand how common scam types work — phishing, romance scams, tech support scams, and more — described generally, never tied to a specific real business or person.

3. Take immediate action if you've lost money

If you've already sent money, our guide on what to do first walks you through contacting your bank, stopping contact, and reporting the fraud.

4. Request a free case review

If your situation may involve a significant loss or a business/platform that shares responsibility, request a free, no-obligation case review with an independent, licensed consumer-protection attorney.
