How it works

1

Show us what you got

Paste the text, email, link, or ad. Or just describe the phone call in your own words.

2

We check it twice

Smart AI reads it and checks the facts behind any links. Anything involving money gets a second, independent review.

3

You know what to do

One clear answer, the reasons in plain words, and the exact next step. No tech talk.

See it in sixty seconds

Why anyone can be fooled now, and the one habit that stops it.

AI got good enough to fool anyone. Young or old, nobody is above it.

The losses just land hardest on our parents and grandparents. Americans over 60 reported losing $7.75 billion in a single year. Almost every one of those scams started the same way, with one message that felt a little off. Checking first is how it stops. That is the whole idea.

Why people trust the verdict

We show our work

Every verdict comes with its reasons, written so anyone can follow them.

We check facts, not just words

We look up how old a website really is and where a link really goes.

When we're not sure, we say so

You will never get a confident guess. Honest doubt beats false comfort.

A scam going around today

Scammers create fake websites impersonating legitimate car dealerships. Buyers place orders and make payments on the fake site, then show up at the real dealership to discover no record of the purchase or vehicle exists.

How to spot it: The website URL is slightly different from the official dealership site, or you were directed to it through an unsolicited email or search ad rather than finding it yourself.

Safe move: Visit the dealership's official website by typing the address directly into your browser or calling their main number to verify any deal before making a payment.

Common questions

Is what I paste private?

Yes. Your checks are yours. We never save them, we do not sell your information, and no person ever reads them.

Do I need to install anything?

No. CheckTwice works right in your browser, on your phone or your computer.

What if I already clicked the link?

Don't panic, and don't blame yourself. Paste it anyway. The verdict tells you exactly what to do next, step by step.

Is this an antivirus?

No. Antivirus watches your computer for bad software. CheckTwice answers the question machines can't: can I trust this?

The next time something feels off,
you’ll know where to go.
