About WasItAScam
Scammers are getting better every day. They sound professional, they create urgency, and they know exactly how to make you doubt yourself.
This site exists to give you a quick, calm way to check if something was a scam — and to know what to do next. No jargon, no judgment, just clear answers.
Why this site exists
Too many good people get scammed, and too many of them feel embarrassed to ask for help. We built this site so anyone can check — privately, quickly, and without feeling judged.
Whether it's a suspicious phone call, a weird text message, or an email that doesn't look right, you deserve a simple way to figure out what's going on.
What we believe
Getting scammed doesn't mean you're gullible. Scammers are professionals. They study human behavior and use sophisticated techniques. Anyone can be targeted — and checking is always the smart move.
Asking for help is strength, not weakness. Whether you use this site, call a family member, or contact your bank — reaching out is the right thing to do.
"I'm not sure" is a perfectly good reason to check. You don't need to be certain something is wrong. If something felt off, that's enough.
This site is free
No ads. No data collection. No newsletter signup. No tracking. Just helpful information when you need it.
If you found this helpful and want to support it, you can buy me a coffee. But there's absolutely no pressure — helping people avoid scams is the whole point.
