About this app

Is this a scam?

Paste the text, the email, or the link. ScamDrill reads it and tells you what it sees, in plain language: which parts look wrong, and why. It will not tell you something is "safe," because nothing that arrives out of the blue ever really is. It tells you what is there and lets you decide.

Free, no account needed:

• Beginner scam checker. Catches the classic pressure lines, the lookalike web addresses, and the payment methods no real company ever asks for.
• Report a scam. Anonymous, and a person reads every report before anything gets published.
• "I think I've been scammed." A step-by-step plan for the hour after it happens, and the numbers worth calling.

Once you are signed in:

• The full checkers. Links get opened on our servers instead of on your phone, and you see the whole redirect chain before you decide anything.
• Sender and domain analysis on emails, including the deeper checks that catch a lookalike sender.
• Check a screenshot. Pick the picture and the text is pulled out of it on your phone. The image itself never leaves your device.
• Share into ScamDrill straight from Messages, Gmail, or Chrome.
• Sign in with your email and a one-time code. No password to remember.

If you manage a plan for other people:

• Check suspicious messages with community-powered intelligence.
• See how everyone you cover is doing, at a glance.

About your privacy: we never connect to your inbox and we never read your messages. You choose what to check, and what you check is analyzed and then gone. We do not keep the contents.

Plans are available in the app or at scamdrill.com. Either way, the same features unlock for everyone you cover.
