About Scam Ray

Scammers count on one thing: that you've never seen their trick before. Scam Ray fixes that.

Each Short takes one real scam that's hitting phones and inboxes right now and X-rays it in under a minute. You see exactly what the text, call or website looks like, the red flag that gives it away, and what to do instead.

We make these for everyone, but especially for the people who get targeted most: parents, grandparents, first-time job seekers and anyone who's ever been told "act now." Sharing a Short is one of the easiest ways to protect someone you love.

Been scammed, or think you might be?
