Get a text you're not sure about? Check it before you tap, reply, or pay. Subscribe to FraudSentry Premium for unlimited scans and Trace, your fraud investigator. Eligible subscribers receive a 7-day free trial. No FraudSentry account is required to subscribe. 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.

AuthentiKate

Someone reached out to you claiming to be a celebrity, an athlete, a public figure, or someone known to the public. Before you reply, before you do anything they ask: why not check if it's really them? That is what AuthentiKate is for. Impersonation scams are not new, and they are not slowing down. Someone uses a famous person's name, photo, and reputation to earn your trust — then they use that trust to cause harm. They ask for money, personal information, or access to things you would never give a stranger. The harm is real. We built AuthentiKate because there was no simple, reliable way for an ordinary person to know for certain who they were talking to. Now there is. HOW IT WORKS Search the name of the person who contacted you. Select the channel — social media, phone, email — and then ask that person to send you a verification code. Every verified figure on AuthentiKate has been identity-confirmed before their account is activated. When they need to prove their identity, they open the AuthentiKate Verified companion app and generate a 6-digit code. It can only come from their verified device. You enter it here. If it passes, it is them. There is no other way to get a passing code. Nothing to screenshot, nothing to reuse, nothing a scammer can replicate. If the code passes, you see the person's verified title and their public profile links, the information they chose to share with the world. That is the first time any of that information appears. Before a valid code, you see their name and nothing else. If the code does not pass, you get one clear result: we could not verify this person or contact. ACCESS TO USE (with no hidden agenda) AuthentiKate is open to everyone. No account. No sign-up. No tracking. We do not collect your personal information, store your searches, or sell your data. Your verification history stays on your device and goes nowhere else. WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT FROM A VERIFIED BADGE A verified badge on a social platform tells you that platform approved that account at some point. It does not tell you who is sitting behind the screen right now, in this conversation, today. AuthentiKate uses a live code that can only be generated by the real, verified person at the moment you ask for it. A badge can be bought and copied onto a lookalike account. An on-demand verification cannot. OTHER THINGS TO KNOW If the person you are trying to verify is not yet in our directory, you can recommend we reach out to them. We are grateful for every recommendation and will do our best to bring them aboard! If something feels off or strange about a conversation even before you check, trust your instincts. AuthentiKate can help confirm if a public figure is who they say they are, but your own judgment is also a powerful tool. If you can't verify someone and believe you have encountered an impostor, report them directly in the app. We do our best to share these alerts with the public figures themselves.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AuthentiKate at none against FraudSentry's 2. FraudSentry's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
