How does Scam Checker decide if a message is “probably a scam”, and why isn’t the suggestion 100% certain?

Scam Checker utilises AI and available data to analyse text messages and will provide a suggestion that a text message is "probably a scam" or "Our checks didn’t identify any suspicious indicators." based on patterns like suspicious links, requests for personal information, and payment requests.

The more of these red flags that appear, the more likely the message is to be a scam.

We don't give a definitive, 100% certain answer because legitimate messages can sometimes resemble scams, and scammers are constantly changing tactics. Scam Checker is also reliant on AI and available data, the accuracy and reliability of which we cannot guarantee. You are ultimately responsible for verifying the accuracy of the suggestion provided by Scam Checker.

Our goal is to provide an informed likelihood while encouraging caution and vigilance.
