Check a Message for Scam Warning Signs
Works with ChatGPT · Claude · Copilot · Gemini
You can spot scam warning signs while keeping your own judgment.
The problem
Scam messages are getting harder to spot and prey on urgency.
What this skill does
Paste a suspicious message (without your personal details) and ask the AI to point out common scam warning signs. It can flag urgency, odd links, or requests for money or codes. The final judgement is yours, and when unsure, contact the company directly through their official channel.
When to use it
- Use this when a message, email, or text feels off or too good to be true.
Juni’s tip
Juni says: AI can flag warning signs, but you decide. When unsure, contact the company directly, not through the message.

Point out any common scam warning signs in this message, without me sharing my personal details: "Your account is locked, click here in 24 hours to verify."
Why this works
Having the AI flag known warning signs gives you a checklist, while you make the final call with your own judgment.
Practice task
Take a suspicious message and ask the AI to point out any scam warning signs.
Self-check
- The AI flagged specific warning signs, not just a guess.
- I plan to verify through an official channel before acting.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating a one-word AI verdict as certain instead of weighing the warning signs yourself.
- Clicking links or sharing codes before checking through an official channel.
