Is This a Scam? AI Checker

Is This a Scam? helps you make sense of a scary, official-looking message — fast, and privately. Got an email, text, letter, invoice, or notice and you're not sure if it's real or a rip-off? Paste the text or take a photo, and the app reads it right on your iPhone and gives you a calm, clear read: how risky it looks, the specific red flags, what a legitimate version should contain, and concrete next steps. WHAT IT CHECKS • IRS / tax notices • Debt-collection letters • Court summons and lawsuit notices • Eviction notices • Cease & desist letters • Fake invoices and billing scams • Job offers and recruiter messages • DMCA / copyright takedowns • Anything else — paste it and ask PRIVATE BY DESIGN Reading and analysis happen on your device. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and we never see your documents. An optional Enhanced cloud check is OFF by default; if you choose to turn it on, the text of that one check is sent to our server for a deeper analysis and then discarded — never stored. CLEAR, NOT A BLACK BOX Instead of just a number, you see why: which expected elements are missing (for example, the validation rights a debt collector must include, or the parts a real DMCA notice needs), which red flags are present, and what actually looks solid. HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT IS This is an educational triage signal to help you decide what to do next — not legal, tax, or financial advice, and not a guarantee. For anything affecting your money, your rights, or your housing, talk to a qualified professional or local legal aid. FREE & SIMPLE Check up to 5 documents a month for free. A one-time unlock — no subscription, no account — adds unlimited checks, a private on-device history, and PDF export. A companion to isthisscam.app.
