Motion & pickup watchMovement-based alerts · sensor data stays in this page
MONITOR OFF

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.

Off until you opt in. A motion sensor and browser permission are required.
Current & last known location THIS DEVICE ONLY

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.

Geofence safe zone

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.

      Recognize the approach, not just the message

      Six patterns worth slowing down for.

      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.

      01 / LOGIN

      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.

      02 / DELIVERY

      Parcel and payment fees

      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.

      03 / MONEY

      Prize, investment, or job offers

      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.

      04 / IDENTITY

      Urgent calls from someone you know

      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.

      05 / ACCESS

      Tech support and remote access

      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.

      06 / SCAN

      QR codes and payment changes

      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.

      Protect your phone before it goes missing

      Build your device safety baseline.

      A few settings prepared in advance can make a lost phone easier to secure and your accounts harder to reach.

      01 / LOCK

      Use a strong screen lock

      Set a long passcode or PIN and enable biometrics if you want them. Avoid easy-to-guess codes and keep your recovery method current.

      02 / LOCATE

      Set up the official find service

      Enable your platform’s built-in device-finding and remote-lock tools now, and learn how to reach them from another trusted device.

      03 / PRIVACY

      Limit lock-screen details

      Review notification previews and what can be opened while locked. Keep sensitive messages and account codes off the lock screen.

      04 / RECOVER

      Keep recovery info safe

      Back up important data and store your device serial or IMEI privately somewhere separate from the phone.

      If your phone is lost or stolen

      Secure accounts first. Stay safe.

      Use trusted services and act from another device. The order may vary by your phone, carrier, and location.

      1. Mark it lost and lock itUse the official Apple or Google device-finding service from a trusted device. Avoid links sent by strangers claiming they found your phone.
      2. Secure your key accountsStart with your primary email and financial accounts. Change passwords through official apps or sites and revoke sessions you do not recognize.
      3. Contact your mobile carrierAsk about suspending the SIM or eSIM and protecting your number. Ask whether device blocking is available in your region.
      4. Report it with your recordsContact local authorities as appropriate and provide proof of ownership or the device identifier privately when requested.

      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.

      Your everyday safety kit

      Stay safe from scams.

      A few simple habits can make it much harder for scammers to rush, trick, or pressure you.

      The golden rule

      Stay sharp.
      Stay safe from scams!

      01 / VERIFY

      Pause & verify

      Contact the person or company using a number or website you found independently—not the details in the message.

      02 / PROTECT

      Keep secrets secret

      Never share passwords, PINs, recovery phrases, or one-time codes—even with someone claiming to be support.

      03 / TAKE A BEAT

      Don’t act under pressure

      Urgency, threats, secrecy, and “too good to be true” rewards are reasons to stop and double-check.
