Ireland has one of the highest rates of phishing in the world. Fraud offences surged 137% in 2025, and over 78% of Irish consumers have been targeted by scammers. Despite this, most available tools were built for international markets — generic, unfamiliar with local institutions, and not designed for the people who need them most.
ScamSafe was built to change that. It is free, requires no account, and is designed to be used by anyone. In seconds, it analyses a suspicious message and gives a plain-English verdict, along with exactly what to do next.
We believe that protecting yourself from scams shouldn't require technical knowledge, a paid subscription, or a degree in cybersecurity. It should be as simple as asking ScamSafe.
Why I built ScamSafe
I built ScamSafe because the problem is real, it's growing, and the tools that existed weren't built with enough local knowledge or context to be genuinely useful.
Starting in Ireland — one of the most targeted countries in the world for phishing and fraud — ScamSafe is trained on real, local scam patterns so that the verdicts it gives actually mean something to the people receiving them. Every week, people across the country are being deceived by increasingly sophisticated scams, and I wanted to build something that could genuinely help.
The tool is for everyone. Scams don't discriminate — they target people of all ages, backgrounds, and levels of tech confidence. ScamSafe is designed to be simple enough for anyone to use: plain English, no jargon, no technical knowledge required.
ScamSafe is free, and it always will be for consumers. The mission is simple: help people stay safe.
ScamSafe was built on a set of principles that we won't compromise on.
