About SpotAScam
Why we built this
SpotAScam was built because my mum kept asking me “is this a scam?” — and I knew millions of other families had the same problem. Instead of calling your son or daughter every time you get a suspicious text, you can check it here in seconds.
What we do
We maintain the UK’s largest database of known scams, updated daily. Our AI scam checker analyses suspicious messages instantly. And our weekly newsletter keeps you one step ahead.
Independent and impartial
SpotAScam is independently operated. We are not affiliated with any bank, telecom provider, or government agency. Our recommendations are always in your best interest.
How we make money
SpotAScam is free to use. We earn a small commission when you click through to recommended security services. This never affects our scam verdicts.
