Ask Silver Scam Checker

Ask Silver is a simple tool that anyone with a smartphone can use to protect themselves from scams.

All you need to do is upload a screenshot of any text, email or website you’re suspicious about. Using the power of AI, Ask Silver will instantly check on the communication in question and indicate whether it’s safe or a ‘Red Flag’, also suggesting next steps to stay safe.

To use Ask Silver, start by signing up at www.ask-silver.com. It’s available inside WhatsApp, just like any of your other contacts that you can message. Once you sign up, you’ll receive a one-time email with a QR code to scan, which opens the WhatsApp chat. You then simply send through a screenshot of anything you want to check, and you can even report scams to the authorities with one tap at the end of the check.

If Ask Silver doesn’t automatically appear in your WhatsApp contact list, open WhatsApp, then press New chat > Options > Reload contacts.
