Hi everyone! 👋 I’m Rob, the founder of BeforeYouPay AI. I built this because I’ve personally watched people—including myself and my mother—lose money to convincing scams, fake websites, misleading programs, and dishonest contractors. BeforeYouPay AI helps you analyze websites, Facebook Marketplace listings, emails, text messages, investment opportunities, contractors, and more before spending money. My goal isn’t just to detect scams—it’s to help people make smarter financial decisions with AI. I’d genuinely love your feedback. What would you want BeforeYouPay AI to analyze next?

finally tried this on a sketchy investment pitch that came through my email and the red flag breakdown was spot on, the explanations actually make sense instead of just saying "trust score low"

Thanks! The idea came from realizing how many people get pressured into paying before they’ve had a chance to verify a website or offer. At first I only had “trust score low/medium/high” but realized I personally would want more of a visual warning. I’m glad you liked it. Out of curiosity, was it the risk breakdown or the AI explanation that helped you most?

honestly this looks super useful, especially with how many sketchy offers are floating around now. one thing i'd love to see is a saved history or log of everything i've checked so i can go back and reference past results, maybe even share the risk report with a family member when i'm not sure about something. that would make it feel way more practical day to day

Fahri, thank you taking the time to review and recommend features for this product. There actually is a scan history tab for anyone who creates a free account. In that history, there is also a share button which allows you to copy a link and share with anyone you wish in any communication method. Check it out and let me know if it works for you. If you were to recommend this product to someone: who would it be?

Tried it on a sketchy crypto site I had been eyeing and it flagged a few things I would have totally missed. Felt like having a friend double-check before I hit pay.

Nazife, YES thank you for that wonderful description: “Felt like having a friend double-check before I hit pay”! That’s exactly what I was hoping for. Curious, did this help your decision to pay or not and what was the determining factor that lead to your decision?
