## What is ScamCheck?

Not sure? Check before you click.

ScamCheck helps you examine suspicious screenshots, texts, emails, links, phone numbers, sender addresses, and QR-code messages before you act.

GET A CLEAR, CAUTIOUS ANSWER
• Likely Scam
• Suspicious — Verify First
• Probably Legitimate
• Not Enough Information

SEE WHY
ScamCheck highlights urgency, payment demands, impersonation, unusual links, relationship-building patterns, and other warning signs in plain language. It also gives a practical next step, such as stopping contact or verifying through an official channel.

MORE THAN TEXT EXTRACTION
Advanced checks can consider the whole screenshot—including layout, branding, conversation patterns, and visual context—alongside live reputation sources when available.

ASK SOMEONE YOU TRUST
Share the result and key details with a family member or trusted contact through the iOS share sheet.

PRIVACY FIRST
Initial analysis happens on your iPhone. When online analysis is used, ScamCheck clearly explains what will be sent. Requests are not retained by the ScamCheck service, and raw private messages are not stored by default.

FREE PROTECTION
• Unlimited on-device screenshot, photo, and message checks
• Live link, phone-number, and sender lookups
• 3 Advanced AI and visual checks each month
• Scan history stored locally
• Ask Someone I Trust

ScamCheck Plus includes unlimited Advanced AI and whole-screenshot visual analysis. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled in App Store settings.

ScamCheck provides risk guidance, not certainty. Verify unexpected requests using contact information you find independently.
