About this project
Meet ScamCheck.
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.

Review text, links, and phone-number formatting for possible warning signs before you respond.
Learn safer habits
Explore scam patterns, device-preparation tips, and calm next steps if something feels wrong.
Keep expectations clear
Message checks run in your browser. Results are guidance, not proof, identity lookup, or a guarantee that something is safe.

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.
Local sensor readoutWaiting for permission
Off until you opt in. A motion sensor and browser permission are required.

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.

Never share a one-time codeLegitimate support staff will not ask you to read them an OTP, PIN, or password.
Verify through a trusted sourceContact the organization using the number or website on its official app or card.
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.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Contact your mobile carrierAsk about suspending the SIM or eSIM and protecting your number. Ask whether device blocking is available in your region.
- 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.
Android companion · setup required
A trusted phone. A safer recovery path.
The Android companion can detect a SIM removal, send one SMS alert to a verified consenting contact, and share live location with a paired phone while the service and network remain available.
Verify a number for this page
This page's OTP form verifies number control for this page flow only. To link a SIM-alert recipient, use the Android companion on the protected phone after pairing.
A verified phone number alone never grants access to location. This page form does not enroll a recipient for Android SIM alerts or share coordinates; use the authenticated companion flow for that feature.
Link with explicit approval
Sign in on both phones, display a short-lived one-time pairing code on the protected phone, then approve the trusted phone by name on both screens. No silent number-based enrollment.
Account + device verificationChoose exactly what to share
On Android, grant location and phone-state permissions, verify the consenting alert number, and explicitly start or stop the foreground monitor. Device pairing is required before alerts.
Revocable consentLet the installed app watch
A native app can request supported background permissions and monitor approved theft signals. Each platform limits background work differently, so continuous detection cannot be promised.
Native app requiredShare a fresh, timestamped update
SIM removal sends one SMS with the last available location when connected. The paired Android app refreshes live fixes about every 15 seconds while open; the protected phone uploads about every 30 seconds for up to one hour.

Important limits to design around
A fully powered-off phone cannot obtain a new GPS fix or send a message. SIM removal does not guarantee delivery: the cellular connection may disappear before the app reports it. Wi-Fi or a later restored connection may let the app retry; otherwise no immediate SMS or live fix is possible.
Location must stay accountable
Collect only after the owner opts in. Encrypt data in transit and at rest, restrict it to approved paired devices, expire history quickly, and provide immediate revoke, unlink, and account-recovery controls. Never publish a location link openly.
Build beyond the current demo
The browser console remains a visual simulation. The Android companion uses authenticated paired-device APIs and D1; iOS support, push notifications, and guaranteed background detection are not included.
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.
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.
