Terms & Disclaimers
What this tool is, what it is not, and the boundaries you should always keep in mind.
The Short Version
Scam Check is a free, independent decision-support tool. It helps you think critically about suspicious messages, links, and screenshots. It does not replace your bank, your police, or your own judgment — and it never will. By using it, you agree to treat its output as guidance, not as a guarantee.
Not Financial or Legal Advice
Scam Check provides risk assessments for educational and decision-support purposes only. It is not financial advice, legal advice, or a certified security audit. Always confirm important decisions through official channels before sending money or sharing information.
Not Affiliated With Any Agency
Scam Check is an independent public safety initiative. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any government body, bank, law enforcement agency, or cybersecurity vendor.
Honest, Not Guaranteed
Scam Check is deliberately transparent about its scope. It analyzes known scam patterns, suspicious infrastructure, and social-engineering signals, then reports exactly what it found and how confident it is — instead of making promises it cannot keep. A "low risk" result reflects that no strong indicators were found (not that a brand-new attack is impossible), and a "high risk" result is evidence-based guidance, never an accusation or a legal verdict.
No Money Recovery
Scam Check cannot recover lost funds or reverse transactions. If you have lost money, contact your bank or card issuer immediately and file a report with your national cybercrime authority.
Acceptable Use
Use this tool only to evaluate content you have permission to evaluate. Do not use it to harass, defame, or target individuals, or to assist in any unlawful activity.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Scam Check and its operators are not liable for any decisions made, losses incurred, or damages arising from reliance on the information provided by this tool. You use it at your own discretion.
