Hey Product Hunt

I'm Ryan, co-founder of Savi Security. My brother Patrick and I built Scamwise, and I want to tell you why.

Last year, our mom got a call from scammers who had spoofed our sister's phone number and cloned her voice with AI. They ran a hostage scenario - send money now or they'd kill her. Our mom was alone, terrified, and seconds from wiring thousands of dollars. She got lucky. Millions of people every year don't.

That call changed everything for us. We kept thinking about all the people who don't have someone to call when something feels off - the parents, the grandparents, the people who try to figure it out alone.

The problem: Americans lose over $100B to scams every year, and AI has made them nearly impossible to distinguish from legitimate messages. The old tools aren't keeping up - they check databases of known bad actors, but if a scam hasn't been reported yet, they miss it entirely.

What Scamwise does differently:

🧠 Goes beyond blocklists. Our AI agent also analyzes behavioral patterns and contextual signals in the content itself - the subtle cues that reveal a scam before it's ever been reported.

📋 Accepts any input. Text, screenshots, photos of physical mail, emails, or just describe the situation in your own words. You can even forward suspicious emails to [submit@scamwise.com](mailto:submit@scamwise.com).

✅ Clear answers in seconds. No jargon, no scare tactics - just a calm verdict and specific next steps.

🤝 Actually free. No ads, no account required, no pop-ups, no data games. We built this to help people, not to monetize your panic.

Between us, my brother and I have spent our careers in a mix of cybersecurity and consumer tech. We started Savi to protect families in a world where the threat is evolving faster than the tools available to fight it.

Scamwise is our first product and it's 100% free. We want to earn trust by delivering something genuinely useful with no catch.

Try it right now at scamwise.com - it takes about 10 seconds. And if you have a parent, sibling, or friend who's ever sent you a screenshot asking "is this real?" - send it their way.

I'd love to hear from you: What's the most convincing scam you or someone you know has encountered? We're learning from every submission and building more tools to stay ahead.

Thanks for checking us out 🙏
