SMS scams are out of control — here’s a dead-simple way to spot them.

Most of us get at least one sketchy text per week—many designed to look exactly like messages from banks, delivery services, or the government. AI-powered scams are getting harder to detect, and a single wrong click can lead to stolen credentials or drained bank accounts.

We built TextGuard to make scam detection effortless. Just screenshot any suspicious text, send it to 1-866-990-6283, and we’ll tell you if it’s a scam and how it works.

Would love your feedback—what’s the most convincing scam text you’ve seen lately?

This really needs to be from Apple and Google at the OS level.
