What Scamanot Is

Scamanot is an educational platform that uses AI analysis to identify patterns commonly associated with scams, fraud, and deceptive practices. Our tools are designed to raise awareness and help you ask better questions before making decisions.

Think of Scamanot as a knowledgeable friend who has seen a lot of scams — they can spot warning signs and share what they know, but they are not your lawyer, your financial advisor, or a law enforcement officer.

What Scamanot Is Not

• Not a legal authority. Our analysis does not constitute a legal determination that any person, business, or entity is fraudulent, criminal, or in violation of any law.
• Not a guarantee. A "low risk" result does not mean something is safe. A "high risk" result does not mean something is definitively a scam.
• Not a substitute for due diligence. Always conduct your own research before making financial, personal, or business decisions.
• Not a law enforcement tool. We cannot access private databases, criminal records, or real-time fraud registries.
• Not financial or legal advice. Nothing on this site constitutes professional financial, legal, investment, or cybersecurity advice.
• Not infallible. AI analysis can produce false positives (flagging legitimate things) and false negatives (missing actual scams). No AI system is perfect.

How to Use Our Results Responsibly

Our analysis works best as one input among several. Here is how to use it well:

• Use results as a starting point for further research — not a final verdict
• If a result says "high risk," take that seriously and investigate further before proceeding
• If a result says "low risk," don't stop there — verify through official channels
• Cross-reference with official sources: the FTC, BBB, your state attorney general's office
• Consult a professional when the stakes are significant — large sums of money, personal safety, legal matters
• Trust your instincts — if something still feels wrong after a "low risk" result, that feeling matters

About AI Analysis

Our tools are powered by large language models (LLMs) through the Anthropic API. These models are trained on vast amounts of data and are capable of sophisticated pattern recognition — but they operate based on probabilistic inference, not real-time data access or human judgment.

AI models can be confidently wrong. They can miss novel scam tactics not well-represented in training data. They cannot access live databases of known scam phone numbers, flagged websites, or active fraud investigations in real time.

We are continuously working to improve our prompts and analysis logic, but no AI system eliminates uncertainty entirely.

Limitation of Liability

By using our tools, you acknowledge that you are making your own independent decisions and that Scamanot bears no responsibility for the outcome of those decisions.
