Account and password alerts
A message says your account will close or has been locked, then sends a sign-in link. Open the service’s official app or type its known address yourself instead.

Check suspicious messages, phone numbers, and links for common warning signs before you respond.
ScamCheck is a digital-safety website developed by Benison Murmu of BWBS. It helps people pause and look for common warning signs in suspicious messages, phone numbers, and links, and offers practical guidance for protecting a phone and responding to potential scams.
These demo actions only update this screen. They play no sound, request no location, and contact no real device.
Opt in to watch for sudden movement while this page stays open. Alerts may help flag an unexpected pickup, but motion alone cannot confirm theft or tell whether a phone is in a pocket. This monitor cannot run in the background.
Capture a location fix on this device after granting browser permission. The browser uses available location signals (which may include GPS and Wi-Fi); accuracy varies. The latest fix is saved in this browser so you can review it later; it is not sent to a contact.
No location fix saved in this browser.
Location is requested only when you press the button. Opening the map sends its coordinates to OpenStreetMap. A website cannot keep tracking after it closes or locate a stolen/offline phone. Real remote sharing needs the companion app and authenticated service described below.
Set the zone center to your current location, choose a radius, then start monitoring to see an alert if this device enters or leaves the circle. The center and radius stay in this browser; live checks run only while this page is open.
No safe zone set.
Review past ScamCheck results and device-demo alerts, then keep screenshots or photos together as evidence. Nothing here is uploaded; clear items whenever you like.
Stores result summaries only, never the message or number you checked.

Use the admin token configured as a Cloudflare secret. It stays only in this page’s memory and is sent over HTTPS to this site.
Scams can arrive by text, email, phone, social media, or a QR code. The story changes; pressure, secrecy, and requests for money or access are recurring warning signs.
A message says your account will close or has been locked, then sends a sign-in link. Open the service’s official app or type its known address yourself instead.
Unexpected delivery charges or failed-payment notices may lead to a fake checkout page. Check tracking and fees directly with the carrier or seller you used.
Guaranteed returns, surprise winnings, or easy-income offers can hide advance fees and risky transfers. Verify the organization independently and never pay to unlock a prize.
A caller claims to be family, a manager, or an official and demands secrecy or immediate payment. Hang up and contact the person using a saved, trusted number.
Unsolicited “support” may ask you to install an app, share your screen, or reveal a code. Do not grant access; contact the company through its official support channel.
A QR code can conceal its destination, and payment details can be altered in a genuine-looking thread. Preview the address and confirm payment changes through a separate trusted channel.
These examples are warning signs, not proof. ScamCheck checks patterns and available community reports; it cannot verify a sender’s identity or guarantee that a message is safe.
A few settings prepared in advance can make a lost phone easier to secure and your accounts harder to reach.
Set a long passcode or PIN and enable biometrics if you want them. Avoid easy-to-guess codes and keep your recovery method current.
Enable your platform’s built-in device-finding and remote-lock tools now, and learn how to reach them from another trusted device.
Review notification previews and what can be opened while locked. Keep sensitive messages and account codes off the lock screen.
Back up important data and store your device serial or IMEI privately somewhere separate from the phone.
Use trusted services and act from another device. The order may vary by your phone, carrier, and location.
Personal safety comes first: do not confront or follow anyone based on a location estimate. This website cannot remotely locate, lock, ring, or recover a real device.
A few simple habits can make it much harder for scammers to rush, trick, or pressure you.
Contact the person or company using a number or website you found independently—not the details in the message.
Never share passwords, PINs, recovery phrases, or one-time codes—even with someone claiming to be support.
Urgency, threats, secrecy, and “too good to be true” rewards are reasons to stop and double-check.
