Free scam checker
Is this a scam? Paste it and ask.
Got a text about a package, a toll, a refund or your bank? Paste it here or add a screenshot. VOM reads the message, searches what has been reported about it, and tells you what it finds and what to do next.
What VOM checks
VOM reads what the message says (who it claims to be from, what it asks you to do, the link or number it gives) and searches the web for what has been reported about that kind of message.
Then it tells you what it found, the warning signs in your message, and what to do next, with the sources the search finds.
Phone numbers and websites
Paste a phone number, a sender or a web address and VOM searches the web for what people and companies have reported about it.
It has no caller-ID or website database of its own, so when nothing has been reported it says so, and that is not the same as safe. Don't call the number or open the link to find out: reach the company through its official app or the number on your card.
If you already clicked or paid
Call your bank or card company with the number on the back of your card, change any password you typed in, and report it to the Federal Trade Commission at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
Questions about checking a message
- Do I need an account?
- No. Paste the message and press Check it. You get 5 checks a day without an account.
- Is it really free?
- Yes. Without an account you get 5 questions or pictures a day. A free account gives you 10 a day and saves your conversations. VOM Pro raises it to 50 a day.
- Can I check a screenshot?
- Yes. Press "Check a screenshot", pick it, and send. VOM reads the words in the picture and checks them.
- Can it check a phone number or a website?
- Yes. Paste the number or the web address (or the whole message it came in) and VOM searches the web for reports about it. If nobody has reported it yet, it tells you that, which does not prove it is safe.
- Can VOM be wrong?
- Yes. Like any AI, it can make mistakes. For anything that matters (health, money, a legal deadline), open the sources it lists, check names, dates and numbers yourself, and ask a professional when it is your own case.
