Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Scam Text Analyzer work?▼
The analyzer uses rule-based pattern matching to identify common scam indicators like urgency language, threats, unusual payment requests, and authority impersonation. It does not use AI and processes text locally in your browser.
Is this tool 100% accurate?▼
No. This is an educational tool that identifies known patterns. A low-risk result does not guarantee safety, and a high-risk result does not confirm fraud. Always verify unexpected requests through independent channels.
Is my text data stored or shared?▼
No. The analysis runs entirely in your browser. The text you paste is not sent to any server, stored, or shared with anyone.
What should I do if the analyzer flags a message as high-risk?▼
Do not respond to the message, click any links, or provide information. Verify the sender through official channels. If you believe you are being targeted, report it to authorities and to StopAiFraud.com.
