The scope of our solution and the technology behind Trend Micro ScamCheck is what makes us different. Trend Micro ScamCheck offers multiple features to protect you against different types and forms of scams in whatever way they may reach you. And our ScamCheck feature is based on groundbreaking AI technology. Unlike other tools, it doesn’t just spot common red flags and scam, but also performs a deeper analysis of the content to find the less obvious signs of scams. Trend Micro ScamCheck is a dedicated anti-scam solution uniquely designed for today’s scams.

Scammers are using many different, and increasingly sophisticated, tactics to target people through SMS, phone or video calls, email, and social media. It is getting harder to identify what’s real. Whether you’re overwhelmed with scam messages and want to reduce the noise and the risk, or you are worried about the possibility of falling for that one successful scam, Trend Micro ScamCheck has you covered.

There are very few limitations to whom a scammer may choose to target; therefore, any individual could be at risk and negatively impacted if engaged in a scam attempt. Use it for yourself or set it up for a loved one. Trend Micro ScamCheck provides the knowledge and tools to avoid harmful and costly scams.

Trend Micro ScamCheck analyses content in a variety of forms, such as an image or screenshot, a text or email message, a URL link, or a phone number, to determine the likelihood that it is a scam. Upload an image, copy and paste content, or take a screenshot and share it with the tool. You get immediate answers to your questions: Is this text message real? Is this phone number legitimate? Is this Facebook ad true? Is this website a fake?

With Trend Micro ScamCheck, you get real-time (immediate, in the moment) protection from scam calls, texts, deepfake videos and risky websites. ScamCheck identifies scam tactics utilised by cybercriminals as they happen, alerting users early and empowering them to take remedial action before any harm is done.

Anti-virus software serves different, but complementary roles in your personal security. AV is designed to detect, prevent and remove malware – such as viruses, ransomware and spyware – that can infect your devices. Anti-scam solutions, like Trend Micro ScamCheck, are focused on identifying and preventing various forms of online scams and fraud that does not involve malware, but rather aims to manipulate you into providing access and information. It focuses on the digital content and communications you engage with, to prevent deception. Security measures for viruses and malware is not the same as what is needed for scam. While AV vendors may include some anti-scam capabilities, your AV solution alone isn’t protecting you from all forms of scams.
