How to spot itAbout the checker
Is the scam checker free?
Yes. You can run up to 5 checks a day here without an account, and the DealShield Chrome extension checks messages without a limit, for free.
Do you keep the message I paste?
No. A check without an account runs and returns the result; the message is not stored. If you create an account, checks you run there are saved to your own dashboard.
What does the checker look for?
Signs documented in real scams: senders that do not match the brand, look-alike links, requests to pay first, move off the platform, download software, scan a code, or send money back. For genuine offers it also lists what the message leaves out and the questions to ask.
Can it prove a message is safe?
No tool can. When nothing is flagged, confirm the sender through the company's own website before sharing personal details or sending money.
