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. From our privacy policy: We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your personal data to train our AI models.

Onyx

Your money, messages, accounts, and identity all live in your phone. Onyx shows you where you're actually exposed, helps you fix it, and teaches you to stay ahead of scammers — for you and your whole family. Start with a short quiz, then run a deep scan to see where your email appears in known data breaches and leaks. From there, Onyx keeps watch and keeps you learning. WHAT ONYX PROTECTS YOU FROM • Data breaches and leaked personal information • Phishing and scam websites • Identity theft and financial fraud • Weak device settings that leave you exposed PROTECT: THREE CHECKS IN ONE PLACE • Identity Monitoring — checks your email against known breaches, explains what was found, and tells you exactly what to do next • Browser Protection — the Onyx Safari extension keeps you safer while you browse • Device Check — reviews key signals like your iOS version, VPN, and DNS settings TRAIN: SECURITY THAT ACTUALLY STICKS Most security apps protect you. Onyx also makes you harder to fool. Short, practical lessons across 7 courses: digital hygiene, scams and phishing, spam, passwords and accounts, identity and personal data, safe browsing, and phone safety. Quick quizzes turn knowledge into habits, and you earn certificates as you progress. WHY ONYX Onyx is your digital immunity, not another antivirus. It doesn't pretend to see everything on your iPhone. It focuses on where an iOS app can honestly help: email exposure, Safari browsing, device settings, and the habits that protect you everywhere else — including the places no app can reach. FAMILY PLANS Scammers target the least protected person in the family. Onyx covers everyone — with individual protection and lessons for each member, all under one plan. Questions?
