Check if a giveaway or prize DM is a scam. Screens for recurring fraud signals like upfront fees and data requests — free. Free with no sign-up, and the analysis runs inside your browser — files never leave your device. On our public gate (30 real + 52 AI images) it measured 96.3% at original quality and 91.5% on recompressed copies, with zero real photos confidently mislabelled as AI. Treat it as an indicator, not proof: the newest commercial generators evade every detector.
Paste the DM or text that starts with "Congratulations, you won!". We check it against the prize-scam formula — unearned win, upfront fee, time pressure — plus the risk of any link inside. Nothing leaves your device.
A real win never asks for money — not shipping, not customs, not a "small verification fee". And real brands only contact people who actually entered. If you never entered, the notification is a scam from its first word, however polished.
A common variant imitates a brand's official account with a look-alike handle and mass-DMs its followers. Put the sender's handle through the impersonation checker, and cross-check the brand's official profile for the event.
No — this is a reference check for known patterns, and a carefully worded scam can score low. If you never entered but "won", be suspicious regardless of the score.
Vocabulary like "winner" and "deadline" appears in real notices too. The decisive signal is a money or personal-data request — check whether that item lit up first.
