How it works

Three calm steps. No jargon, no pressure, no judgement.

  1. Step 1

    Send it to us

    Anything that looks odd: a text, an email, a letter, a phone call, a website or a social media message.

  2. Step 2

    A person checks it

    We look closely at the sender, the links, the phone numbers and the wording — with help from our tools. You'll hear back within 30 minutes — we're open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

  3. Step 3

    You get a plain-English answer

    Scam, safe, or not sure — why we think so, and exactly what to do next. We can read it aloud to you and you can ask follow-up questions.

Ways to send us something

  • Through our website

    Take a photo, upload a screenshot or paste the message. The easiest way.

  • Ask us to ring you

    Press "Talk to a person" and we'll call you back.

Our three answers

Scam

It's a scam. We tell you why, and what to do — especially if you've already clicked or paid.

Looks safe

It looks genuine and doesn't ask you to do anything risky. A person always confirms this — never a computer alone.

Not sure — check first

We can't be certain. We tell you how to check safely — by contacting them on a number you find yourself.

On the rare days we're closed

You'll get an instant reply, any time

"Don't pay, don't click, don't share any codes. We'll check it first thing."

Then we check it as soon as we open, and you'll hear from us.
