Paste it. Check it. Don't get scammed.
ScamRadar is a free, on-device AI that tells you in seconds whether a suspicious text, email, voicemail, or URL is a scam — and explains why.
AI scams jumped 1,210% in 2025 and deepfake voice phishing is up 1,633%. You deserve a second opinion that's faster than you.
WHY SCAMRADAR
• 100% on-device — your messages never leave your phone
• No account needed to scan
• Free forever — the core scanner is never paywalled
• Built for AI scams, not retrofitted spam filters
• Explains the red flags in plain English
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Text Scan — Paste a message for an instant verdict (Looks Safe, Suspicious, Likely Scam) with a confidence score and red flags highlighted.
• Live Shield — Ambient on-device scanning of notifications from Messages, WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Gmail, Outlook, Instagram and Messenger. A discreet alert appears the moment a scam arrives. Off by default; you pick the apps.
• Email Screenshot Scan — Share a screenshot of a sketchy email; OCR runs it through the same classifier.
• Voicemail Scan — Import or record a voicemail; on-device speech recognition looks for AI voice-cloning indicators.
• URL Scanner + Pre-Click Guard — Captures a suspicious URL in a hardened WebView, runs OCR + Safe Browsing, and can intercept link taps to show the verdict before your browser opens.
• Clipboard Chip — Copy a sketchy link or money phrase ("Zelle", "gift card") for a one-tap "Check this?" heads-up.
• Recovery Wizard — If you replied, clicked, or paid, a stepped recovery checklist scoped to the scam type. Resumable across sessions.
• Authority Reports — Pre-filled deep links to FTC, IC3, BBB, Action Fraud (UK), Scamwatch (AU), CAFC (Canada), and 7726, auto-selected for your region.
• Incident Report PDF + Evidence Locker (Premium) — Export a PDF or evidence ZIP for bank disputes, police reports, and insurance claims.
• Care Mode — Larger text (24pt+), single-button flow, spoken verdicts, and a "Call my family" emergency button.
• Trusted Contact Verification (Family) — Signed "It's really me" links prove a message is really from your family member and stop voice-cloning impersonation.
• Family Weekly Digest (Family) — A Monday push summarizing the week's scans and caught scams. Anonymous — no content leaves devices.
• Trending Scam Alerts — A one-line, region-only alert (no PII) when a scam spikes near you.
• Scam Library — Browse the most common scam patterns of 2026.
• Scan History — Your last 50 scans, on-device only. Search, filter, delete. Never synced.
