Bring the suspicious message.
Forward a message, screenshot, or link. From a payment request to a too-good-to-be-true offer, start with what you received.
A second look. Before you click.
Pause the panic.
Sift the scam.
That WhatsApp message can wait. ScamSift helps South Africans check suspicious messages, screenshots, and links before money or personal details change hands.
For your family. For your school group. For that one suspicious link.
The ScamSift approach
Risk rating → Warning signs → Next steps
Less guesswork. A clearer decision.
Our promises to you
Reasons, not just a rating.Practical steps, not scare tactics.“Inconclusive” when we cannot tell.
From forwarded to understood
A little distance.
A lot more clarity.
Scams thrive on pressure. ScamSift gives families and community group admins a way to slow down and examine what is actually being asked.
Make the family pause a habit.
Helping an older relative? Managing a school WhatsApp group? Check the message before passing it on or paying on someone else’s behalf.
Understand the warning signs.
Get a risk rating and specific reasons behind it. Look beyond a gut feeling: urgency, unusual payment instructions, and requests for personal information deserve a closer look.
Verify before you act.
Follow practical verification steps before sending money or sharing details. If the evidence is insufficient, the answer is inconclusive—not a guess.
A risk rating is guidance, not a guarantee. Always verify sensitive requests through an independently trusted contact or official channel.
