AI scam checker

Is this a scam? Check it in seconds.

Got a text, email, link, or call that feels off? FraudAngel's AI scam checker reads it and tells you, in plain English, whether it's a scam, suspicious, or looks real, and exactly why.

What you can check

  • Texts and emails: paste the message, or share it straight from Messages or Mail.
  • Links: paste a web address before you tap it. FraudAngel checks it against live lists of dangerous sites.
  • Screenshots: share a screenshot of a pop-up, a social media message, or a marketplace chat.
  • Letters and QR codes: point your camera at a letter, invoice, or QR code with Scan It.
  • Calls and visits: just say what happened out loud. "A man called saying he was from my bank" is enough.
  • Voicemails and videos: share them to FraudAngel and the audio is transcribed and checked.

A plain-English answer, not a risk score

Most scam tools give you a number or a red shield and leave you guessing. FraudAngel gives one of three answers: Scam, Suspicious, or Looks real, with how sure it is.

Then it spells out the reasons in words anyone can act on: it asks for gift cards, it pushes you to act fast, it tells you to keep it secret, the sender's address doesn't match the company, the link goes to a fake login page.

And it tells you what to do next, like "Don't reply. Call your bank on the number on the back of your card."

How the AI scam check works

  1. You send the message, link, screenshot, or recording.
  2. Images are read with text recognition and audio is transcribed.
  3. An AI model trained to spot scam patterns analyzes it, alongside live threat feeds of known scam numbers and dangerous websites.
  4. You get the answer and the reasons in seconds.
