Why ScamSweep

A calm second opinion you can trust.

Not another alarm. ScamSweep reads what you paste, weighs the evidence, and tells you plainly what's going on — and what to do next.

Explains why — not just yes or no.

Every verdict names the specific red flags it found and what they mean. You finish each scan knowing how the scam works.

Catches the latest scams.

New schemes appear weekly. ScamSweep is updated with the patterns and reported senders making the rounds right now.

Private by design.

Your messages stay on your account. Phone-number lookups are answered from our own data — never sold to third parties.

Works on texts, emails & phone numbers.

One place to check anything that feels off — an SMS, a forwarded email, a number that keeps calling, or a screenshot.

Built for families

Protect the people most likely to be targeted.

Scammers go after parents, grandparents, and teens first. The Family plan brings everyone under one roof — with a quiet way for you to help when it counts.

  • One plan, up to 4 people. Add a parent, a grandparent, and a teen under a single subscription — one bill, separate private accounts.
  • A helper view for you. Get a heads-up when someone you protect runs into something serious, so you can step in early.
  • Private to each person. Everyone's messages stay their own. Being on the plan doesn't mean sharing what they scan.

Private by design

The opposite of a data broker.

A product that fights scams can't behave like one. So we built ScamSweep to know as little about you as it can while still keeping you safe.

  • Your messages stay yours.
    What you paste is used to give you a verdict — nothing more. We don't sell it, and we don't share it with advertisers or data brokers.
  • Phone lookups answered privately.
    Number checks are answered from our own data. We never resell your lookups or hand them to third parties.
  • Plain promises, plainly written.
    No buried clauses. Our privacy policy says, in normal words, exactly what we keep and what we never do.

FAQ

Questions, answered plainly.

Still wondering about something? Reach us at help@scamsweep.com.

Is my data private?
Yes. What you paste is used only to produce your verdict. We don't sell your messages or phone lookups, and we don't share them with advertisers or data brokers. You can delete your scan history at any time.
What can it scan?
Suspicious text messages, emails, and phone numbers — paste the content or the number directly, or upload a screenshot. If something feels off, it's worth a check.
How does the free trial work?
Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial. A card is required to begin, but you won't be charged until the trial ends. Cancel anytime before then and you pay nothing.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. There's no contract and no cancellation fee. Cancel from your account in a couple of taps, and you keep access through the end of the period you've paid for.
How accurate is it?
ScamSweep weighs the same signals professional fraud teams look for and explains each one, so you can judge for yourself. It's a calm second opinion — not a guarantee — and it always shows the evidence behind its verdict.
