The Scambook network

Scam intelligence that grows with every check.

Our AI is trained on the internet's collective record of scams — millions of publicly reported scam messages, senders, and scripts — and every user check sharpens it further.

Learning from every check

Every check makes it smarter

When anyone checks a message, number, or email, the anonymized scam signals feed back into the database — so the next person is even better protected.

Numbers and emails with a history

Scammers reuse phone numbers, email addresses, and scripts. Our AI draws on the internet's collective record of reported scams, so repeat offenders get caught fast.

New scams, spotted early

When a fresh scam script starts circulating, our network sees it within hours — not weeks — and every user benefits from the update immediately.

Privacy first: message contents are never stored. Only anonymized scam signals — like a flagged phone number or a known scam script pattern — are added to the database.
