Privacy & disclaimer

What happens to the text you paste

The text you paste is sent to our server only to be analysed, and it is not saved unless you choose to donate it (see below). We do not keep the text, the company name you enter, or your results.

Donating a message (optional)

Below a result you may see a "Donate this message" option. Nothing is stored unless you pick a label, tick the consent box and press the button. If you do, we store the message text with phone numbers, email names, ID, PAN and long account numbers masked automatically, your label, and the risk level the tool gave it. We do not store your IP address, name or any account with it. Names and other details you typed in the message body are not detected automatically, so edit them out first if you want. Donated messages are used only to test and improve this checker. To have one removed, email us the wording.

Optional AI analysis

If the site offers an AI analysis, it is off by default. Only when you tick the box does your text get sent to the AI provider named next to it, so it can read the message. The provider processes it under its own terms and privacy policy. We don't store the text or the result. Don't tick the box for messages that contain personal details you don't want shared.

Domain checks

When a message contains a website or email domain, we look up that domain's public registration date through a public service (RDAP) to see how new it is. Only the domain name is sent, not your message.

Telegram bot

If you message our Telegram bot, the text you send is analysed by the same rules and not stored. Telegram itself processes messages under its own privacy policy.

Screenshots

When you upload a screenshot, the text is read inside your own browser. The image is not uploaded to our server. The first time you use it, your browser downloads an open-source text-recognition library from a public CDN (cdnjs.cloudflare.com).

What we do collect

• If you tap "Was this helpful?", we record only yes/no, the risk level shown, and a timestamp. No text or personal details.
• Our hosting provider (Render) may keep standard server logs, such as IP addresses and request times, as any web host does.
• We count page visits with GoatCounter, a privacy-friendly analytics service that sets no cookies and does not track you across sites. It records which pages are opened, the referring site, and your general country, browser, and screen size. It never sees what you paste into the checker.

Limits of the results

This tool uses simple rules to look for common scam patterns. It can miss scams and can flag genuine offers. A "Low" result does not mean an offer is genuine, and a "High" result does not prove it is fake. Results are general information, not legal, financial, or professional advice.

Always verify a company through its official website and trusted sources, and never pay money to get a job or share OTPs, PINs, or banking passwords.
