Before you do something hard to undo, check your hunch.
Check what you’re actually being asked to do.
Want this automatically, everywhere you message?
You just checked one message by hand. Hunch can do it for you, automatically inside Gmail, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and Facebook, as the messages arrive.
It watches your inbox
Once installed, Hunch runs quietly inside Gmail, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, nothing to paste.
It warns you in place
When a message looks like a scam, a plain warning appears right above it, before you click, reply, or pay.
You decide
Tap the warning to see exactly why it flagged. Hunch advises; you stay in control.
On desktop, Hunch runs automatically in your browser.
Chrome extensions install on a computer, not a phone. Send yourself the link for when you’re at your desktop.
Paste or share a message
An email, a DM, a text, anything that could cost you money or data.
Hunch reads it like evidence
The same on-device engine as the extension circles the tell: a look-alike domain, the ask, the urgency.
You get a plain verdict
Red, amber, or green, with the reason in plain words, not a score. Then decide with your eyes open.
- Income seekers Fake recruiters, task and “boost” jobs, pyramid pitches, crypto-recruitment, fake freelance clients, scams that dangle a job or a return.
- Consumers Marketplace fake sellers, account-suspension bait, parcel and delivery fees, travel and rental deposits, scams that ride a purchase.
- Banks, tax & authorities Messages posing as your bank, the tax authority, a toll or postal service, or a business platform to make you pay or verify fast.
- Account takeover Code-sharing, hacked-friend messages, and fake support or collab offers aimed at creators and page owners, scams that steal the account itself.
- Newcomers & family Scams that target new immigrants, international students, and elderly people through a trusted-sounding family or official voice.
- Crypto & investment Fake trading coaches, guaranteed-return pitches, offers to recover funds you already lost, and romance chats that turn into an investment ask.
Why we’ll never promise you 100%
Some tools promise total protection. We won’t, because no tool on earth catches every scam. Scams change every day, and any “100%” promise is already bending the truth.
Here’s what we’ll do instead: catch what we can, show you exactly why we flagged it, and leave the final call to you. An honest answer you understand beats a perfect promise you can’t trust.
It shows its work
Every read comes with the exact signals behind it, in plain words, so you see what was hidden, not a score to take on faith.
It stays calm
A message a friend could’ve sent stays calm on purpose. Hunch speaks up for what’s genuinely off, not for every message.
You stay in control
Hunch hands you clear sight and the reason behind it; the decision stays yours. Detection runs 100% locally on your device, and it never acts for you.
That’s the whole idea behind Hunch, we’d rather be the tool you believe than the tool that oversells.
The on-page checker analyzes your message right here in the browser; detection runs 100% locally on your device, and that holds in your phone’s browser too. On Telegram, the message you forward is sent to our server for analysis and isn’t stored.
