Important - ScamAssessor gives a risk assessment, not proof.

A low-risk result does not mean a message, website, person or file is safe. Never send money, passwords, one-time codes or personal information based only on this result. Verify sensitive requests independently using contact details from the organisation's official website or app.

Privacy: ScamAssessor does not sell or share your saved case history. Saved case history is stored locally in your browser on your device and is not uploaded as history to ScamAssessor. Submitted content is processed only as needed to provide the analysis and related security checks. Account, billing and service data are retained only as required to operate your account and provide the service.
