Scam likelihood score
This tool is educational, not legal advice. The score is based on pattern matching against common scam tactics. Some legitimate messages will trigger flags (especially marketing messages with urgency), and a low score doesn't guarantee a message is legitimate — sophisticated scammers can avoid obvious patterns. Always verify any unsolicited message through an independent channel (look up the official phone number yourself; don't use the one in the message). When in doubt, don't pay, don't click, don't respond.
