Banks may contact you, but never share passwords, PINs, full security details, or one-time codes by phone, email, letter, or text. If asked to “verify” anything, stop immediately. Use the number on your card or banking app to contact your bank yourself.

Phishing emails are fake messages made to look real so you click a link, open an attachment, or share passwords, bank details, or codes. Check the sender carefully, do not rush, and never trust urgent threats, prizes, or security warnings.

You are not alone

No one should ever suffer in silence — help is out there.

Our mission

Helping people stay one step ahead of scammers.

Scams cost the UK billions every year and cause real emotional harm. ScamAdvisory was built to give ordinary people the same level of information that fraud investigators use — quickly, clearly, and without judgement.

No bias, no guessing

We never tell you something is definitely a scam. We give you signals, context, and best-practice indicators — and let you decide.

Built for everyone

Accessible design, multiple themes, dyslexia-friendly font, and large-text options. Scam protection should work for every person.

Always improving

New check types, new data sources, and improved detection are added regularly. Scammers evolve — and so do we.

Thank you to our supporters & sponsors — we couldn't do this without you
