We listen. We care. We help people take back control.
ScamAdvisory is a free UK service that helps people and businesses check whether a suspicious link, email, phone number, text message, QR code or company is likely to be a scam. Paste anything you're unsure about into the checker and we review signals such as a domain's age and reputation, known phishing patterns, and what the wider community has reported, then return a plain-English risk summary in seconds — no account is needed for a basic check. Scams are designed to rush you; ScamAdvisory is here to slow things down and give you clear answers before you click, call, reply or pay. It provides risk signals and safety guidance, not legal or financial advice.
Select a category below or just paste anything into the checker above — it works out the type automatically.
No account needed. No jargon. Just honest answers in a few seconds.
Drop a website link, phone number, email address, QR code, or any suspicious message into the checker above. Or upload a screenshot.
Our system cross-checks multiple data sources and signals — domain age, reputation scores, technical indicators, and community reports.
Get a clear risk assessment so you can click, call, or reply — or stay well away — with the information you need to protect yourself.

A real global problem
UK alone lost to fraud
People fell victim
Adults are targeted
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.
No one should ever suffer in silence, help is out there.
Our mission
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.
We never tell you something is definitely a scam. We give you signals, context, and best-practice indicators — and let you decide.
Accessible design, multiple themes, dyslexia-friendly font, and large-text options. Scam protection should work for every person.
New check types, new data sources, and improved detection are added regularly. Scammers evolve — and so do we.
