It doesn't just say 'suspicious' — it identifies the specific technique, cites actual phrases from your message that are red flags, and gives you a concrete action plan. Works on any message type: email, SMS, WhatsApp, phone scripts, invoices, social media DMs.

  3. Add sender context if you have it (email address, phone number, platform)
  4. Click 'Scan for Scams' — get a verdict, confidence score, scam type, and action plan
  5. Review red flags: each one cites a specific phrase or pattern from your actual message
  6. Follow the 'What to do' steps and check the 'Do NOT' list before taking any action
