Scam Check is a free skill you add to Claude (or any AI assistant that supports skills). Paste any suspicious email, text, or invoice and it tells you what's really going on — in plain English.
A calibrated verdict
Scam, Suspicious, or Likely Legit — with the specific red flags found in your actual message, not generic tips. It never claims anything is "100% safe," because nothing is.
Built for business scams
Fake supplier invoices, "new banking details," boss gift-card texts, payroll switches, Google listing threats — the scams that actually drain small business accounts.
An "I already clicked" mode
Clicked the link? Entered a password? Sent the payment? It skips the lecture and walks you through damage control, step by step, in the right order.
Here's what a check looks like
A real-world example: the "supplier changed banks" email — the single most expensive scam hitting small businesses.
This matches the standard invoice-fraud pattern almost exactly.
What gave it away
- A request to change banking details is the highest-risk request a business can receive — it's the core move of payment-diversion fraud.
- The sender domain "apex-supplies-billing.com" is not your supplier's real domain. Scammers register lookalikes with words like "billing" added.
- The details are hidden in an attachment, which shields them from email security scanning.
What to do now
- Do not pay anything to the new account and do not open the attachment.
- Call Apex Supplies on the number you already have — not any number in this email.
- If they didn't change banks, report the email as phishing and delete it.
