ScamHunter is a scam checker for your phone: it tells you in seconds whether a text, email, link, QR code or screenshot is a scam, why, and what to do next. A parcel text asking for a customs fee. A "bank" alert telling you to confirm your card. An online shop with prices that look too good. Before you click or pay, check it: paste the message, share it from any app, scan the QR code or add a screenshot. You get a clear verdict (Scam, Suspicious or Looks safe) with a confidence level, the evidence behind it and the next steps. WHAT YOU CAN CHECK • Text messages and chats • Emails and sender addresses • Links, websites and online shops • QR codes: scan one with the camera, or check a QR code inside a screenshot • Screenshots of anything suspicious EVIDENCE, NOT GUESSWORK Every check runs technical tests first; then the AI explains the result: • Domain age: scam sites are often only days old • Live phishing and malware lists: URLhaus, OpenPhish and PhishTank • Look-alike domains that imitate banks, couriers and shops • Website and TLS certificate checks • Site inspection on our servers: risky links are opened there, never on your phone A VERDICT YOU CAN ACT ON • Scam, Suspicious or Looks safe, with a confidence level • Plain-language reasons, so you see what gave the scammers away • What to do now: delete, block, report, or call your bank on its official number MADE FOR FAMILIES • Share a verdict with family as an image or text • Large-text mode for comfortable reading • Works in 40 languages • No account, no sign-up; your check history stays on your device PLANS 3 checks every day without a subscription. Premium adds unlimited checks, the full forensic report, an A–F grade for online shops and your full history. ABOUT THE AI ScamHunter uses generative AI (large language models) together with technical signals — domain age, TLS certificates, sender authentication and live threat-intelligence feeds — to analyze what you submit. AI can make mistakes; treat verdicts as guidance, not a guarantee. What you check is used only for the analysis — never to train AI models, never sold. Not sure if it's a scam? Check before you click.
