Scamwise by Savi

Great website to eliminate your scams!

Very useful when in doubt

Scamwise is very useful for those cases that you are not quite sure. It is also very useful to share with your parents

A free tool that isn't trying to sell you something

A free tool that isn't trying to sell you something is such a breath of fresh air. I got a call last year from someone claiming to be from the county sheriff's office about missed jury duty, asking me to show up in person to an address in my city. A quick Google suggested that the phone number on caller ID was from the sheriff's office. Only after doing more googling and searching on Reddit did I confirm this was a scam. This tool saves so much time to actually get an answer to that question, which all of us have to ask and answer on a regular basis now, quickly and reliably.

Scamwise is one of those tools you…

Scamwise is one of those tools you don’t think about until you need it, and then it becomes something you actually use all the time. Super easy tool to use where you can just upload a screenshot or forward a suspicious email to get a fast, clear answer. No account, no friction. I love that it doesn’t just give you a yes or no. It actually explains what it’s seeing and tells you what to do next, which is way more useful than trying to Google something and piece it together yourself. I used it recently when I got a pretty convincing email that looked like it was from my bank. It had the right branding, tone, and even referenced recent activity, but something felt slightly off. I forwarded it to Scamwise and within seconds it flagged it as a likely phishing attempt, pointed out specific red flags in the message, and told me exactly what to avoid clicking and how to handle it. That alone made it worth bookmarking. I’ve already sent it to family and friends, especially the ones who always ask me to sanity check random texts and emails (Hi Aunt Lisa!). Now they can just run it through Scamwise themselves. Kind of wild that this is free given how useful it is. Definitely worth having in your back pocket.

Simple Family Tool

Simple to use and would recommend to all family members asking me for help with their emails and social media.

Easy 5 Stars

Scamwise is an impressive and effective tool, and one of the most useful resources I’ve come across in this space. It stands out for how practical and easy to use it is, and it offers something genuinely valuable that’s hard to find elsewhere. I’d strongly recommend adding it to your toolkit.

Incredibly useful

Incredibly useful. So glad this exists.

This is brilliant and so needed

This is brilliant and so needed! Extremely easy to use, reliable info, and helpful guidance. Thank you, Savi!

Good for pointing out scam e-mails

I used to get lots of e-mails about sponsorship for my Youtube channel, but at some point,I couldn't tell if they were a scam or not. Now, I just make a screenshot, upload it to Scamwise and for sure know if it's a scam or not.

It's surprisingly good

Fast, clear answer with steps to follow to stay safe. I like it.

Evidence-based scam catcher

My family is always asking me if things are scams. I finally started pasting their questions into here, and sending them the screenshot. It always has the same conclusion I had, but with evidence to back it up. Finally now most of them are using it, and now instead of sending me questions, they send me the screenshot saying they already have their answer.

Don’t get scammed!

I’m constantly getting spam calls and texts, including ones that look real (from my bank, Amazon, or other places). I’m putting them all into Scamwise now so I don’t have to try and figure it out on my own. Some of them look very real and are designed to scare and panic people. I have friends and family who have been scammed out of money, and this is something that they’ll all be using moving forward.

Fast and easy way to check a text or…

Fast and easy way to check a text or email that may not be legitimate. It even saved me from deleting a gift card I thought was phony, but turned out it was real! I use it almost everyday.

It’s easy and fast to use

It’s easy and fast to use. It gives me a second opinion when something feels like a scam, and it makes me feel more secure knowing there’s a place where I can double-check suspicious messages.

Helpful for sketchy emails and texts

Scamwise has proven helpful to get a second opinion on seemingly sketchy texts and emails. It’s great to have an easy way to get a second opinion!

Easy to use

Helped me with an online shopping scam. Simple, easy to use, and clear. I feel like even my parents could use it!

Really simple way to gut check scams

Really simple way to gut check scams. Already helped me detect a few— thanks scamwise!

Scamwise saved me from getting scammed

A friend told me about scamwise.com when I asked her about a weird email I had received. So, I forwarded the email to the submit(at)scamwise.com address and got back a verdict in seconds that flagged it as a likely scam and gave me all the reasons why and recommendations for next steps. I've been using it a few times a week since!

After my parents were targeted

After my parents were targeted, I discovered Scamwise and I've since shared it with them and everyone I know. It's incredibly easy to use, even for my less tech-savvy parents, and far more reliable than Googling something suspicious and trying to triangulate an answer across chat forums, search results, and social media. I get an immediate answer I can trust, without having to gut-check it or ask someone else because Scamwise is just always there.

A great gut check

I love having this tool handy whenever I get a text or email I'm unsure about. It's a great gut check—even for someone like me who usually feels pretty confident spotting scams. And if your parents are anything like mine, they could definitely benefit from this too.
