BaitSpot: Is This a Scam?

A strange text, a job that pays too well, a parcel fee, a link you aren't sure about? Wondering "is this a scam?" or "is this website legit?" BaitSpot is a scam checker that shows you the warning signs of phishing and fraud before you reply, click or pay, and tells you what to do next.

SCREENSHOT A SUSPICIOUS MESSAGE
Add a screenshot of a text, chat message, email, job offer or listing. The AI assistant reads it and gives a risk grade from A to F, with the reason for each warning sign.

CHECK A WEB ADDRESS WITHOUT OPENING IT
Paste an address. BaitSpot checks the spelling for copied names, swapped letters, other alphabets, odd endings and tricks that hide the real address. This works offline, against a small list of well-known names.

WHAT KIND OF SCAM IS IT?
Pick what the message is about, such as a parcel, a bank, a job, a rental or a relative in trouble. Answer a few questions and see the grade, even offline.

ALREADY PAID?
The steps are in order: call your bank first, stop all contact, keep the evidence, then report it. There is a step for each way of paying, because each one works differently.

REPORT IT
Official report links for the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Singapore, India and Türkiye. If your country isn't listed, the app tells you so rather than guessing a link.

WARN YOUR FAMILY
Share a short warning with parents or friends. It leaves out the names and numbers from your message.

WHAT BAITSPOT WILL NEVER DO
It never tells you a message, person or site is safe. The lowest result is "no warning signs found, which isn't proof". It never tells you to contact the suspected party or open their links.

Light and dark mode, and the app follows your phone's language.

IMPORTANT
BaitSpot is an AI assistant and can make mistakes: it can miss a scam and it can flag something harmless. It is not a bank, the police or a lawyer, and it can't get your money back. It is not affiliated with any company, bank or government agency.
