Questions, answered.

The things people ask before they send us their first scam.

What exactly does Fraud Filter check?

Paste any message, email, marketplace listing, or job post — or a URL — and one API call scores it across the major scam categories (fake jobs, phishing, advance-fee, impersonation, investment and romance fraud, fake goods), with a red-flag breakdown and a plain-language recommendation. You can also run an image check to reverse-search a photo and score how likely it's AI-generated or a deepfake.

If it comes back clean, does that mean it's safe?

No — treat it as a strong second opinion, not a guarantee. A low risk score means we found no known scam patterns, but new schemes appear every day. Never send money, credentials, or ID based on a “clean” result alone. When in doubt, verify the person or company through an independent, official channel.

Which scams can it catch?

Fake job and work-from-home offers, phishing and account-takeover lures, advance-fee (“you've won”) fraud, brand and executive impersonation, investment and crypto schemes, romance scams, and counterfeit-goods listings. Each check returns a per-category score so you can see why something was flagged, not just that it was.

Do you store the messages or images I check?

Content you scan is processed to return a result and is not sold or shared. Images uploaded for an image check are held only for the moment of the lookup and then deleted. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.

Do I need to be a developer to use it?

Not at all. Anyone can paste a message into the free checker above or in the dashboard and get an instant verdict — no code required. If you are a developer, the same detection is a single REST call, with JS and Python SDKs and webhooks. See the docs.

How much does it cost, and can I cancel anytime?

Start free with 10 checks a month, no card. From there, pay-as-you-go credits are $0.05 per check with no monthly commitment, or Growth is $20/month for unlimited checks. There are no contracts or setup fees, and you can cancel anytime. See pricing.

How fast is a check?

Most text checks return in under a second. Image checks take a little longer because they run a reverse-image search and a deepfake model behind the scenes.
