Made for real life

If you’ve ever paused before clicking — this is for you

ScanBeyond fits into the moments where most scams happen: a rushed text, a “delivery problem,” a too-good-to-be-true offer.

“Your package couldn’t be delivered…”

USPS, UPS, FedEx impersonation texts and fake tracking links — caught instantly.

Calls from “your bank”

Voicemail and live-call transcription with impersonation red flags before you call back.

Suspicious QR codes

Parking-meter, restaurant-menu, and parcel-pickup QR scams — decoded and checked.

Romance & pig-butchering

Long-form chat analysis flags grooming patterns, pressure tactics, and crypto-investment cues.

Job & rental scams

Fake recruiter emails, “send a deposit” rentals, and onboarding-fee schemes — caught before payment.

“Tech support” & fake captchas

Browser pop-ups, virus alerts, and malicious captcha pages flagged before you paste anything.

Trusted by everyday users

People who almost lost money — didn’t

From parents to small-business owners, ScanBeyond is the second opinion they wish they had sooner.

★★★★★

“Pasted a sketchy ‘bank fraud alert’ text. ScanBeyond flagged it as impersonation in seconds and told me exactly who to call. Saved my mom thousands.”

— Marcus T., Family plan
★★★★★

“The explanation chips are gold. I finally understand why a link is dangerous instead of just being told it is. My kids use it now too.”

— Priya R., Individual plan
★★★★★

“We rolled it out to our 18-person team. Phishing attempts in our shared inbox dropped to zero clicks within a week.”

Frequently asked

Answers before you ask

What does ScanBeyond actually scan?
Suspicious texts, URLs, phone numbers, emails, screenshots (OCR), audio messages (transcribed), and QR codes. You get a clear safe / caution / scam verdict in seconds with explainable reasons.
How is ScanBeyond different from antivirus or identity-theft tools?
Antivirus blocks malware. Identity-theft suites watch your credit. ScanBeyond is the decision layer that helps you evaluate the message, link, or call in your hand — before you click, reply, or pay — and tells you exactly what to do next.
Do I need to install anything?
No. ScanBeyond runs in your browser on any device. You can also add it to your home screen as a PWA for one-tap access.
Is my data private?
Yes. All scans are encrypted in transit and at rest. Sensitive details are redacted from any anonymous reports we use to improve detection. We never sell your data.
Is search really free?
Yes. Public search for verified agencies, organizations, and businesses is free with no account required. Paid listing options may return later once traffic is established — consumer search stays free.
What languages does ScanBeyond support?
English, Spanish, German, and French — with more on the way.
