We’d love to tell you that the Fraud Scanner detects all fraud — but that’s simply not possible. To help warn others about types of fraud the app doesn’t (yet) cover, we’ve created a community where you can share your experiences and help protect others. You can also report fraud directly through the app or browser extension.
Think of it like Waze, but instead of reporting road hazards, you’re reporting threats on the web.
What the Fraud Scanner does detect:
- Fraudulent websites;
- Suspicious payment syestems on online shops;
- Phishing links;
- Suspicous websites behind social media ads.
What the Fraud Scanner does not detect:
- Malware hidden in files like PDFs;
- Face ads on marketplaces like Craigslist;
- Computer viruses;
- Fraud on the darkweb;
- Suspicious email addresses;
- Suspicious text message or WhatsApp messages (although it will warn you when a suspicious link is opened from one)
