Is This a Scam?

Is This a Scam? analyzes any suspicious message — SMS, WhatsApp, email, or DMs — and tells you whether it matches the pattern of a known scam. Paste the text, and the AI flags the warning signs: urgency tactics, fake links, requests for personal info, and other red flags.

REXAI's Scam Checker is built for anyone who's ever received "Your account will be closed in 24 hours — click here" and wondered whether it's real. Instead of guessing, get an instant verdict in seconds.

What It Checks For

Urgency and pressure. Scammers create panic to make you act without thinking. "Act within 24 hours or your account is locked" is a classic pattern.

Suspicious links. Shortened URLs, misspelled domains, and links that don't match the claimed sender are flagged automatically.

Requests for personal info. Banks, government agencies, and legit companies never ask for passwords, PINs, or full card numbers over email or SMS.

Too-good-to-be-true offers. Prize wins, refunds you didn't ask for, and unclaimed funds are almost always scams.

Impersonation. Messages that pretend to be from a bank, delivery service, tax office, or well-known company — with small inconsistencies that reveal the fake.

Emotional manipulation. Threats, guilt trips, or fake emergencies designed to override your judgment.

Common Scam Types It Detects

Phishing SMS. Fake delivery notifications, bank alerts, or government messages with links that steal your login.

WhatsApp scams. Fake relatives in distress, job offers that ask for payment, or investment "opportunities."

Email phishing. Fake invoices, password reset requests, and impersonated colleagues asking for urgent payments.

Romance scams. Long-game emotional manipulation that ends in requests for money.

Job offer scams. "Work from home, earn $500/day" messages that ask for upfront payment or personal details.

Crypto and investment scams. Fake trading platforms, pump-and-dump schemes, and fraudulent "signal groups."

How to Use the Scam Checker

1. Copy the message. Include the full text — the sender's number or name, the message body, and any links. Screenshots don't work; copy-paste the actual text.

2. Paste it in. Drop the message into the input box. There's no length limit.

3. Get the verdict. The AI analyzes the message and returns: likely scam, suspicious, or likely legitimate — with the specific red flags it found.

4. Take action. If it's flagged as a scam, delete it and don't click any links. If it's suspicious, verify by contacting the organization directly through their official website or app — never through the message.

What to Do If You've Been Scammed

1. Stop all contact. Don't respond to the scammer, even to confront them.

2. Change your passwords. If you clicked a link or entered credentials, change passwords on every account that uses the same one.

3. Contact your bank. If you shared payment information, call your bank immediately to freeze cards and dispute charges.

4. Report it. In Pakistan, report to FIA Cybercrime (complaint.fia.gov.pk). In the US, report to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov). In the UK, report to Action Fraud.

5. Monitor your accounts. Watch for unauthorized activity on email, banking, and social media for at least 30 days.
