What StopScam is

StopScam is a consumer app for screening suspected scams. You upload or photograph an email, message, post, PDF or link, and it returns a risk score with reasons, plus an assistant for follow-up questions about data breaches and fraud patterns.

What you can do with it

  • Screen a message before replying
  • Check a link before opening it
  • Photograph a letter or QR code for review
  • Explain to relatives why something looks fraudulent
  • Log suspicious approaches over time

Who it is for

  • Everyday users wary of phishing
  • Families protecting older relatives
  • Community groups running fraud awareness

What to watch out for

  • Missed scams and false alarms both happen; a low score is never permission to trust a message
  • Uploading content can expose personal details in it to a third party, so strip what you can
  • Scam tactics change faster than detection models, so treat alerts as one input
  • For financial loss or identity theft, contact your bank and local authorities, not just the app

Pros & cons

✓ What we like

  • Simple input through photos or uploads
  • Explanations help less technical users
  • Useful for family protection routines

! What to watch out for

  • Detection cannot keep pace with new scams
  • Uploaded content leaves your device
  • Scores can mislead in both directions

FAQ

Does an all-clear mean the message is safe?

No. Treat any request for money or credentials as suspect regardless of score.

Is my data safe to upload?

The app receives whatever you send, so remove personal details first.

What if I already paid a scammer?

Contact your bank and report to local fraud authorities immediately.
