ScamLens UK: Scam Checker

Before you tap, check it in plain English. ScamLens UK helps you review suspicious links, QR codes, texts, emails and screenshots. Get a calm risk assessment, the warning signs behind it and a safer next step — all on your device. CHECK IN FOUR WAYS • Paste a link or message. • Scan a QR code and preview the address written in it. • Import a screenshot to read and check its text on your device. • Share supported links and text to ScamLens from other apps. UNDERSTAND THE RESULT See Low risk, Caution, High risk, Critical or Unknown, with reasons in plain English. ScamLens looks for warning signs such as look-alike addresses, impersonation, urgent payment requests and hidden destinations. When there is not enough information to judge, it says so. Technical details are available when you want a closer look. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your checks are processed on your iPhone or iPad. Messages, links and screenshots are never uploaded for analysis. There is no account, advertising or analytics. History stays on your device and you can delete it at any time. Optional signed scam-pattern updates download content without sending your checks or identifiers. BUILT FOR UK SCAMS Review messages claiming to be from HMRC, Royal Mail, Evri, DVLA, the NHS or your bank. Learn about delivery-fee scams, bank impersonation, fake parking QR codes, marketplace tricks and other common patterns. ScamLens is independent and is not affiliated with the organisations it mentions. TAKE A SAFER NEXT STEP Find relevant UK reporting guidance: forward suspicious texts to 7726, report suspicious emails to report@phishing.gov.uk, or use 159 to contact participating banks. Fraud reporting guidance covers Report Fraud for England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and Police Scotland on 101. Reporting and opening external links always require your action. EVERY FEATURE IS FREE Unlimited checks, screenshot checking, full history and search, text summaries, technical details, the Learn library and Helper mode are included. No subscriptions or in-app purchases. Helper mode offers a simpler, larger result view for reviewing a concern with someone you trust. ON-DEVICE EXPLANATIONS On supported devices, Apple Intelligence can add plain-language explanations. ScamLens also works without Apple Intelligence: its rules decide the risk level and the primary safer step. KNOW THE LIMITS ScamLens is an educational tool, not a guarantee of safety. It assesses the supplied text and address; it does not visit websites, authenticate senders or follow shortened links. English-language scam wording is supported. A translated interface does not mean scam wording in that language is supported. Always verify through independently trusted channels before sharing passwords, payment details or personal information. Requires iOS 26 or later.
