Scamwise: Scam Site & Fake Store Alerts

Get warned the moment you land on a scam site or fake store, before you buy, sign in, or share anything. 100% free.

Get warned the moment you land on a scam site or fake store, before you buy, sign in, or share anything. 100% free: no trial, no paywall, no credit card. Scam sites don't look sketchy anymore. Fake stores come with full catalogs, polished return policies, and they run ads on the platforms you already use. The most sophisticated phishing scams copy the exact look of your bank's login page, your email, or your favorite brand, making them almost impossible to spot by eye alone. Scamwise catches them in real time, before you check out or sign in. The extension runs on the same detection engine behind Scamwise, the free scam checker that has analyzed more than 1 million scam submissions for consumers. Scamwise is built by Savi Security and has been covered by TODAY, Forbes, NPR, and TechCrunch. WHAT SCAMWISE PROTECTS YOU FROM • Fake online stores selling products that will never arrive • Phishing sites built to steal your passwords and payment details • Fake sign-in pages pretending to be your bank, email, or the brands you shop with • Copycat sites impersonating real retailers • Fake checkout and payment pages • Scam sellers and listings on large marketplaces • Fake deals, giveaways, and offers that are too good to be true WHY IT MATTERS RIGHT NOW • Fraud is at a record high. The FTC estimates fraud may have cost Americans as much as $196 billion in 2024. • AI has made scams faster and cheaper to build, and much harder to spot. A convincing fake store or lookalike login page can go up in minutes, with no typos or sloppy design to give it away. • Scamwise users report a new fake store about every 3 minutes, and 85% of them disappear within two weeks. By the time bad reviews show up, the site is already gone. • During holiday sales, huge discounts look normal, which makes fake stores easier to miss than ever. HOW IT WORKS • Real time: Scamwise checks each site as it loads. • Safe sites: No pop-ups, no interruptions. Just a small green check on the Scamwise icon. • Suspicious sites: A yellow banner appears so you can pause before you buy, sign in, or share anything. • Scam sites: A red banner appears with a one-click "Leave site" button that takes you somewhere safe. • Every warning explains, in plain language, what Scamwise found. • Know a site is legit? Turn off the warning for it, and Scamwise adds it to your safelist. BUILT WITH YOUR PRIVACY IN MIND • Most sites, including well-known, established ones, are recognized on your device. Nothing leaves your computer. • Only suspicious pages are sent securely to Scamwise to be checked. • We never see anything you type on any page, including passwords, payment details, and form fields. • We never share or sell your information.
