The scams people are checking right now
If you got one of these, you’re not alone — here’s how each one works.
“Unpaid toll” texts
Fake toll and delivery texts with a tracking link are the most common scam text right now.
“Your bank” calling
Caller ID can be faked. Real banks never ask for passwords or codes over the phone.
Too-good job offers
Remote gigs that pay big for little work and end in money-mule recruitment.
Romance & “wrong number”
A friendly stranger, a fast connection, and eventually a money or crypto ask.
Marketplace deals
Overpayment, “verification code”, and shipping tricks on Facebook Marketplace.
Crypto “investments”
Fake trading platforms with fake profits and withdrawals that never clear.

Report a ScamCommon questions
How can I tell if something is a scam?
Paste whatever made you pause — a link, text, email, or phone number — into the matching checker. ScamKit flags the common warning signs and gives you a plain-English risk score with what to do next. It’s free and needs no sign-up.
Is this link safe to click?
Check it before you tap. The link checker reviews domain age, URL structure, lookalike and redirect patterns, and cross-references Google Safe Browsing, AlienVault OTX, and AbuseIPDB — so you can see whether a link is risky without opening it.
Is ScamKit free?
Yes. The link, message, phone, and email checkers are completely free with no account required, and most checks run right in your browser.
