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.

Is that trading card real or fake? Let Pip take a look. CounterMint is your friendly card-checking buddy. Snap a photo of a card and Pip, a playful AI helper, looks over the text, colors, holo, fonts, borders and tiny details to give you a quick, honest read on whether it looks authentic or a little off. Great for collectors buying singles, ripping packs, or digging through an old binder for counterfeits. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Check a card: photograph the front (and back) and get a "looks good / take a closer look / be careful" read across 7 checks, with the reasons why. • Your card vs official: Pip compares what's printed on your card with the official print, field by field. • Know what it's worth: rough market estimates for each card and your whole collection. • Ask Pip: price, rarity, popularity and more about any card. • Build your collection: add cards by photo or search, and track what you have, want and traded. • Trades: log a trade and see if you traded up. • Stay in the loop: new sets and the latest TCG news on Home. • 12 languages: Pip speaks your language and reads cards in it too. • Backup & restore: export your collection and move it to a new device. HOW IT WORKS Take a clear, well-lit photo. Pip compares your card against the real one, asks a quick question if it isn't sure, then shares what it noticed, like a knowledgeable friend giving a second opinion. Fast, friendly, and free to start. AN HONEST HEADS-UP CounterMint is a fun risk-assessment aid, NOT a certification or grading service, and it can be wrong. A photo can't feel a card's weight or thickness, so very good fakes can slip by. Market estimates are rough and can be off. For valuable cards, or before buying or selling, always confirm with a professional grader. Pip helps you spot red flags; it doesn't guarantee anything. TOKENS You start with free tokens. Checking a card or adding one by photo uses tokens; searching to add cards is always free. Optional token packs are available, and tokens never expire. Made for fun, by collectors, for collectors. CounterMint is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any trading card game publisher. All trademarks belong to their respective owners. CounterMint does not certify, grade, or guarantee the authenticity of any card.
