Get a text you're not sure about? Check it before you tap, reply, or pay. 2 free scans. No account, no email, no card. FraudSentry doesn't just say "scam." It shows you the fake link, the manufactured urgency, the sender who isn't who they claim. Then it tells you what to do next. ————— ANYONE CAN SAY "THAT'S A SCAM" We don't leave you holding a shrug. FraudSentry investigates the message in front of you, not a category it resembles. Say a "package delivery" text wants $3.95 to release your parcel. Here's the kind of answer you get: That link doesn't go to the carrier's real website. It goes to a lookalike address built to pass a quick glance. The $3.95 is small on purpose, low enough to pay without a second look. And delivery companies don't text you for surprise fees. Don't tap. Block the number, report it, and here's the tell for next time. Every detail comes from your message, not a template. Still have questions? Ask Trace. It already knows the case. ————— WHEN IT CAN'T BE SURE, IT SAYS SO Not every message is clear-cut. When FraudSentry can't be sure, it tells you so, and shows you how to check for yourself. A tool you trust with your money shouldn't bluff. ————— HOW IT WORKS 1. Paste it: a text, email, DM, screenshot, PDF, or voicemail 2. Trace investigates: the links, the sender, the tactics 3. You get the evidence: the specific red flags, and your next move Send what it found to your parents, your spouse, or the group chat, right from the report. One check can help the whole family. ————— ALREADY SENT MONEY? Open FraudSentry anyway. You'll get the steps that matter in the first 24 hours: who to call, what to freeze, where to report. No lecture. Being targeted isn't your fault. ————— MEET TRACE Your personal fraud detective inside FraudSentry. Ask anything: "Is this link safe?" "They have my card number. What now?" "What do I tell my mom?" Plain English. No jargon. No judgment. ————— WHAT IT CATCHES Fake bank and delivery texts • Phishing emails • Social media DM scams • Romance and catfishing • Instant-pay requests • Toll and package notices • Tech support pop-ups • Crypto and investment fraud • Grandparent and family-emergency scams • Suspicious voicemails • Job offer scams • Fake invoices and vendor payment requests Built on 30,000+ cataloged threat signals, updated as new scams emerge. ————— BUILT TO BE TRUSTED We look at content, not people. From our privacy policy: We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your personal data to train our AI models. Accessible from day one: VoiceOver, Voice Control, larger text, reduce motion, and verdicts you can read without relying on color. ————— GET SHARPER EVERY WEEK Scam of the Day, Threat Briefings, and Swipe Defense: a two-minute game that trains you to spot the pattern before it reaches your family. ————— SUBSCRIPTIONS Two real scans to start, not a demo. Want more? A 1-week free trial unlocks unlimited scanning. 1-week free trial; monthly and yearly plans; prices shown in the app. Both include unlimited scans and full access to Trace, Learn, and Defend.
