How it works

Three simple steps

No apps to download. It works right here in your web browser.

Copy the message across, or simply take a photo of it on your phone.

STEP 2

We check it

We compare it against known scams and warning signs — in just a few seconds.

STEP 3

Get a clear answer

Safe, be careful, or a scam — always with plain steps on what to do next.

The result

One message. One clear answer.

Every check comes back as one of three calm, colour-coded results.

Looks safe

It's genuine and harmless. No links, no pressure — safe to read and keep.

Be careful

It might be real, but it has warning signs. We'll tell you how to check safely.

Likely a scam

It's a scam. Don't tap, don't reply — we'll walk you through what to do.

Loved by families

Peace of mind, in their words

Real relief, from people checking messages every day.

My daughter set this up for me. Last week I got a text about a parcel and it told me straight away it was a scam. Such peace of mind.

I almost called the number in a message pretending to be my bank. ScamChecker told me not to. It probably saved me thousands.
JohnAdelaide, SA
Simple and clear — exactly what my dad needs. He checks anything he's unsure about now instead of ringing me in a panic.
PriyaMelbourne, VIC
The big writing and plain words make it easy. It just tells me: safe, or careful, or scam. No fuss.
BarbaraNewcastle, NSW
We added Mum to the family plan. Now if something looks dodgy, we can check it together over the phone.

Questions

Good to know

Is it really free?

Yes. Your first check is free, with no sign-up required. To keep checking as much as you like — and to save your history or protect a family member — you create a free account and can choose a low-cost plan.

Is my message private?

Your message is used only to run the check. We don't sell or share it, and we keep only what's needed to give you an answer.

What if I'm still not sure?

When a message is unclear, we'll tell you to be careful and show you how to check safely — like calling your bank on the number printed on the back of your card. You can also use our free list of real bank numbers.

Do I need to download anything?

No. ScamChecker works in your web browser on your phone, tablet or computer. Nothing to install.

Who is it for?

Anyone can use it — but it's designed especially for older Australians who want a simple, trustworthy way to check a message.
