Is this a scam?
Paste it. Find out.
The job offer that hired you in a day. The "accidental" Zelle payment. The bank that called you. ScamLens checks the text against the scam patterns people actually lose money to — and tells you what to do next.
Runs entirely in your browser. We never see what you paste.
Paste the suspicious thing
A message, an offer email, a listing — whatever you're unsure about.
The scams people actually lose money to
These come from thousands of real victim reports. They work because they're designed to feel plausible.
The too-fast job
Hired in a day, $4,500 check for "equipment." The check is fake; the equipment vendor is them.
The accidental payment
"I sent you $40 by mistake." You return it; their original transfer reverses. You're out both.
The bank that calls you
Fraud department spoofed by caller ID, walking you through "reversing" a charge — which authorizes it.
Honest limits
It says "no patterns matched." Is it safe?
No — it means nothing matched our known patterns. Scams evolve faster than any rule list. If money, credentials, or urgency is involved, verify through a channel you found yourself, every time.
Does it store what I paste?
No. Matching happens in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere. You can check by switching your device offline — it still works.
Can you check screenshots or calls?
Text only, for now. For calls: real banks don't mind if you hang up and call back. That one habit beats any tool.
