Scam-Less gives guidance, not a guarantee. When in doubt, contact the company directly using details from their official website.

Check a link

Not sure about a link in an email or text? Paste it here before you click.

A "safe" result isn't a guarantee. Never enter passwords or card details via a link you weren't expecting.

Check a phone number

Got a suspicious call or voicemail? Enter the number and tell us what they said — we'll tell you if it's a scam.

Phone number checks are most accurate when you include what the caller said.

Check a romance or investment message

Getting messages from someone you met online, or being coached into an "investment opportunity"? Paste the conversation or upload a screenshot — we’ll tell you if it matches known romance or investment scam patterns.

Romance and investment scam patterns can be subtle. If something feels wrong, trust your instincts and talk to someone you trust.

⚠ ACTIVE NOW · JULY 2026

Unpaid toll texts (E-ZPass / SunPass)

The biggest smishing wave in the US right now: texts claiming you owe a small unpaid toll and must pay immediately to avoid late fees or "legal action". They impersonate E-ZPass, SunPass and state toll authorities, and the link leads to a cloned payment page. Toll agencies don't demand payment by text with a link — if you think you owe a toll, go directly to your toll authority's official website or app. Read the full guide →

⚠ ACTIVE NOW · 2026

Fake recruiter & task job texts

The FTC has warned about a wave of texts from fake recruiters offering easy remote work with daily pay. The newer twist: instead of a link, they ask you to reply "YES" or "INTERESTED" to start the conversation. It ends with a fake check to deposit or "tasks" that require putting in your own money. Real employers don't recruit by unsolicited text — and you should never have to pay to get paid.
