Get a text you're not sure about? Check it before you tap, reply, or pay. FraudSentry doesn't just say "scam." It shows you the fake link, the manufactured urgency, the sender who isn't who they claim โ€” then tells you what to do next. 2 free scans right now. No account, no email, no card. โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” 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. A USPS text wants $3.95 to release your package. What comes back: That link doesn't go to usps.com โ€” it goes to usps-tollpay.com, a lookalike. The $3.95 is deliberately small, priced under the amount most people stop to question. And USPS doesn't text you for fees. Block the number. Report it. Here's the tell for next time. Every detail came from your message, not a template. Still have questions? Ask Trace. It already knows the case. โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” WHEN IT DOESN'T KNOW, IT SAYS SO Most scam checkers always have an answer, because an answer is what sells. FraudSentry tells you when it can't be sure โ€” a tool you trust with your money shouldn't bluff. โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” HOW IT WORKS 1. Paste it โ€” a text, email, DM, screenshot, PDF, or voicemail 2. Trace investigates โ€” the links, the sender, the tactics 3. You get the evidence โ€” the specific red flags, and your next move Forward the full report to your parents, your spouse, or the group chat. One scan protects everyone. โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” ALREADY SENT MONEY? Open FraudSentry anyway. You'll get the steps that matter in the first 24 hours โ€” who to call, what to freeze, where to report โ€” with no lecture. Being targeted isn't your fault. โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” MEET TRACE Your personal fraud detective inside FraudSentry. Ask anything: "Is this link safe?" "They have my card number โ€” what now?" "What do I tell my mom?" Plain English. No jargon. No judgment. โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” WHAT IT CATCHES Fake bank and delivery texts โ€ข Phishing emails โ€ข Instagram and Snapchat DM scams โ€ข Romance and catfishing โ€ข Payment app fraud (Zelle, Venmo, Cash App) โ€ข Toll and package notices โ€ข Tech support pop-ups โ€ข Crypto and investment fraud โ€ข Grandparent and family-emergency calls โ€ข Suspicious voicemails โ€ข Job offer scams โ€ข Fake invoices and vendor payment requests โ€ข AI voice cloning Built on 30,000+ cataloged threat signals, updated as new scams emerge. โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” BUILT TO BE TRUSTED Screenshots, PDFs, and voicemails are read on your device โ€” only the extracted text is analyzed.

Accessible from day one: VoiceOver, Voice Control, larger text, reduce motion, and verdicts you can read without relying on color. โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” GET SHARPER EVERY WEEK Scam of the Day, Threat Briefings, and Swipe Defense โ€” a two-minute game that trains you to spot the pattern before it reaches your family. โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” SUBSCRIPTIONS Two real scans to start โ€” not a demo.
