Scam Text Decoder

How it helps

Use it for a focused task

A paste-in, get-results experience. Users drop a suspicious message into the decoder and immediately see each flagged phrase labeled with its manipulation tactic, an overall risk rating, and a suggested safe response.

Below the decoder lives a growing pattern gallery, a printable one-page reference card, safe-response templates for common scam types, and an edge-case section explaining how real messages can look scam-like. Paste the full text of the suspicious message into the input box and click Decode.

The analysis panel highlights each manipulative phrase, names the tactic, and explains what it is designed to do. Use the risk gauge to get a quick sense of danger.
