Links, urgency tactics, payment demands, impersonation — checked against a catalogue of known scam patterns in ten languages.
See the evidence
You get a risk level, the exact phrases we matched highlighted inside your own message, and what to do next.
What makes it different
Nothing leaves your phone
The whole check runs on your iPhone. Your messages are never uploaded, never stored on a server, never seen by us. That is not a setting — it is how the app is built.
It shows you the evidence
Not just a verdict. We highlight the exact words inside your own message that matched, so you learn the pattern and can spot the next one yourself.

One tap turns on larger text, higher contrast and a simpler result screen — designed for someone who wants an answer, not a dashboard.
What it looks for
Every finding comes with the phrase that triggered it, so you can judge for yourself.
- Pressure to act fast“Within 24 hours”, “your account will be closed”
- Name and link do not matchThe message names your bank, the link goes somewhere else
- Look-alike addressesA real address changed by a character or two
- Disguised charactersLook-alike letters from another alphabet
- Password or code requestsNo bank or agency ever asks for these
- Gift cards, crypto, transfersPayment methods you cannot reverse
- “It’s me, this is my new number”The opening line of the family impersonation scam
- “Your device has a virus”No company can see that from a message
Patterns are compiled from public advisories including the FTC, Europol and national cybersecurity centres, and cover English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic and Hindi.
Honest about what it can and cannot do
ScamSavvy gives you a risk assessment, not a guarantee. A clean result means we did not find the patterns scammers usually use. It does not mean the message is safe.
Every result — including a clean one — ends with the same advice: if you are unsure, contact the company through its official channel, never through the message.
ScamSavvy never opens a link from your message. When it offers to open a company’s website, it uses that company’s own address.
