About us
A second opinion for everyone, before they click
TapSafely is a free tool that helps anyone check whether a message, link or screenshot is likely to be a scam, and explains what to do next in plain language.
Why we built it
Scams have moved from badly spelled emails to convincing texts, cloned voices and deepfake ads. Most people who are targeted don't need a lecture. They need a quick, calm second opinion at the moment of doubt. That's what we built: a checker simple enough for a grandparent and detailed enough for the curious.
Who we are
TapSafely is built and run by A.I.T. Multiverse Consulting Ltd, an IT company based in Cyprus, for people everywhere. It's an independent service: we are not a government agency, police force, bank or law firm, and we can't investigate individual cases or recover money. For that, contact your bank and the official reporting service in your country. You can reach us at hello@tapsafely.com or through our contact page.
How the checker works
- Pattern checks: dozens of warning signs found in real scams, such as urgency, unusual payment methods, code requests and impersonation.
- Link intelligence: who really owns a link, how old the domain is, where it redirects and whether the page imitates a brand.
- AI review: a language model assesses new patterns the rules might miss. It's told never to call anything definitely safe.
Results are risk assessments, not guarantees. Read our disclaimer.
How we're funded
The checker is free for everyone. We pay for it with advertising on our guides and content pages, and by recommending security products through affiliate links, which are always labelled. Partners never influence our verdicts or guides. See our affiliate disclosure and editorial policy.
Your privacy
We don't store the messages, links or screenshots you check. Read the full privacy notice.
