About ScamSift

ScamSift helps South Africans take a second look at suspicious online messages before sending money or sharing personal information. We start with families protecting older relatives and parents managing school or community WhatsApp groups.

Forward a message, screenshot, or link to receive a risk rating, specific warning signs, and practical verification steps. Our approach is simple: explain the evidence, help you verify, and say “inconclusive” when there is not enough information. No rating is a guarantee of safety.

Use ScamSift to make checking suspicious messages a family habit.
