What we catch

Scammers have many tricks.
We know them all.

From fake bank alerts to Medicare fraud — ProtectMyCircle recognizes the tactics criminals use to trick good people.

Phishing emails

Fake emails pretending to be your bank, Amazon, IRS, or social media — designed to steal your login or personal info.

Text scams (smishing)

Fake package notices, prize alerts, Medicare texts, and "your account is at risk" messages sent by SMS.

Tech support fraud

"Your computer has a virus — call us now." These try to trick you into giving remote access to your devices.

Grandparent scams

"Grandma, I'm in trouble and need money urgently." Criminals pose as family members or lawyers in fake emergencies.

Prize & lottery fraud

"You've won! Just pay a small processing fee." If you won something you never entered, it's always a scam.

Government impersonation

Fake IRS, Social Security, or Medicare messages threatening arrest or cancellation to force quick action.

"I got an email saying my Medicare was being cancelled. I panicked — but I pasted it here first and it caught it immediately as a scam. Saved me from giving them my Social Security number."

"My mom calls me every time she gets a weird email and I'm always at work. Now she just uses this and checks herself. It gives her the confidence to handle it without worrying me."

"I thought I was pretty good at spotting scams, but this caught something I would have missed — the sender's email looked almost right but had one letter wrong. Eye-opening."

Questions people ask us

Yes — completely. The message you paste is sent to our AI for analysis and then immediately discarded. We never store it, never read it, and never share it with anyone. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Always trust your instincts. Our AI is powerful but not perfect — a "safe" result is not a guarantee. If something still feels off, don't click any links or call any numbers in the message. Go directly to the organisation's real website or call a number you already know.
Yes — the Free plan gives you 5 message checks per day with no account required. The Family plan at $7/month gives you unlimited checks, up to 5 family members, check history, and our weekly scam alert newsletter.
Absolutely — that's exactly who we built this for. ProtectMyCircle is designed to be simple enough for anyone to use. You can also set up the Family plan so they have their own account, and you can check in on their recent results to make sure they're staying safe.
We detect phishing emails, text scams (smishing), grandparent scams, tech support fraud, Medicare and Social Security fraud, romance scams, gift card scams, lottery and prize fraud, utility shutoff scams, bank impersonation, charity fraud, contractor scams, and more. Our AI is trained on thousands of real scam examples.
Act immediately: (1) Call your bank right away — they may be able to stop or reverse a payment. (2) If you gave out personal information, place a free credit freeze at Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. (3) Report it to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov and the FBI at ic3.gov. Time matters — act fast.
