## Overview

### Key benefits of ScamCheck Claude

Free with your Anthropic API key. Find out whether the message in front of you is a scam, before you reply, click or send money.

ScamCheck Claude v5.2 analyzes photos, screenshots and PDF documents of emails, letters, texts, advertisements and personal communication, and names the fraud for what it is. It recognizes seventeen fraud families, and is kept current as new ones appear:

Employment and task fraud: pay-to-get-paid work against a promise of reimbursement and commission
Tech support and remote access takeover: a fake security alert that ends with remote software installed and the account drained
Recovery and revictimization: a fee to recover money already lost, sold to known victims
Bank and payment impersonation: the fraud-department callback and the safe-account transfer
Romance and relationship investment fraud: love bombing, grooming toward one platform, then the withdrawal trap
Investment and crypto fraud: fake exchanges, trading bots, wallet drainers, deepfaked endorsements
Extortion and coercion: sextortion including AI imagery, claimed device compromise, virtual kidnapping
Personal impersonation: a cloned voice or deepfaked video of a relative, an executive, or an official
Government and authority impersonation: agencies and courts named or styled by a sender that is neither
Deceptive mailers and legal-lookalike marketing: solar and home improvement lien terms, timeshare exit, notario services
Smishing and account alerts: unpaid tolls, undelivered packages, suspension notices that harvest a card
Invoice, subscription, and payment redirect: fake renewals, business email banking changes, payroll diversion
Prize, inheritance, and windfall: a fee or tax to release money you never earned
Unsolicited insurance and warranty: vehicle service contracts, home warranties, Medicare outreach, ghost broking
Unsolicited credit, loan, and asset purchase: advance fee loans, fake pre-approvals, we-buy-your-car and we-buy-your-house
Unsolicited financial products: timeshares, reverse mortgages, annuity rollovers, pension advances, metals IRAs
Free meal and seminar financial pitches: a free dinner tied to a retirement workshop that sells commissioned products

The last five arrive overwhelmingly as physical mail, which is why a photograph of what came in the envelope is first-class evidence here rather than a secondary case.

Provide your Anthropic API key, then upload a file or capture one with the live camera, and you get a report naming the fraud family, whether the contact was solicited, where in the scheme you stand, and whether money already sent can be recovered, with a Risk Score, a Verdict, and every red flag in plain language.

Solicited versus unsolicited is the strongest single signal on any commercial offer and is decided on every scan: personalization is not a relationship, and a mailer quoting your lender or loan balance bought that from a data broker.

The evidence you submitted appears above the verdict, with red flags, risk score, tokens, and cost as large labelled figures at the top.

Reports save as text or PDF, and the app runs in English, German, or any of 100+ languages your browser displays.

Powered by Claude Sonnet 5, a scan costs about 4 cents, with no subscription.

Your API credentials and the content you analyze are never held or accessed; data travels only between your browser and Anthropic, encrypted in transit.

Use is subject to the End User License Agreement, Terms of Service, and Privacy Policy.

Requires your own API key. An Anthropic key is required, and generation is billed by Anthropic directly to your account.

## About the vendor

- **Company**: Iacoletti Software

## Commercial Context

- **Pricing model**: Usage Based (Free version available)
- **Pricing Details**: ScamCheck Claude v5.2 is free to use, with no subscription and no fees paid to Iacoletti Software. The application itself costs nothing, and each scan consumes tokens from your own Anthropic API key, which you fund and manage directly. You pay Anthropic, not us, with no markup and no per-scan limits.

Pricing is determined entirely by Anthropic's token rates. Scans run on Claude Sonnet 5. Based on scan data, a typical scan costs approximately four to eight cents for a photo or screenshot, and up to twelve cents for a multi-page PDF. These are estimates; your actual cost will vary by file size, page count, and how much text the image or document contains. A single text message screenshot costs a fraction of what a six-page insurance mailer costs, because the whole thing is read rather than skimmed, and the terms that matter in a mailer are rarely on the first page.

Nothing is guessed at after the fact. The tokens used and the cost of the scan are set out as large labelled figures at the top of the report, alongside the risk score and the red flag count, and they travel with the exported file. The price of a given scan is therefore visible on the report itself rather than reconciled against a statement at the end of a month.

Getting started is straightforward. Visit console.anthropic.com, create an account, generate an API key, and add a minimum of five dollars in prepaid credit. Paste the key into the application and you are ready to scan. Five dollars covers roughly sixty to over a hundred scans depending on file size and complexity. No subscription is required at either end: Anthropic's API works on a standard pay-per-use account, and there are no expiring credits, no recurring charges, and no renewals from us. Anthropic lets you set spending limits on the account, which is worth doing before your first run.

For anyone who wants the cheapest possible scan, ScamCheck Grok v5.2 is the same tool on Grok 4.5 with native vision, at about two cents a scan on an xAI key, with no Pro tier or subscription of any kind required. That edition reads images only, so a PDF page has to be screenshotted first. The Claude edition reads PDF documents directly.

Your API credentials and the content you analyze are never held, accessed, or transmitted by us. Data travels only between your browser and Anthropic, encrypted in transit. There is no account to create with Iacoletti Software and nothing to install. Reports save as text or PDF to your own device, with the evidence you submitted shown above the verdict. The application runs in English, German, or any of 100+ languages your browser displays, so a message in any of them can be scanned and the report itself read in your own.
