About this checker

Investment scams, romance scams, fake recruiters and pig-butchering schemes now live inside private chats. Upload a screenshot or paste the conversation and ThreatSnaps reads the rhythm of the conversation - who reached out first, how trust is being built, when money is asked for - and tells you whether you are inside a known scam playbook.

Red flags to watch for

  • Contact reached out unprompted, claims a wrong number, then keeps the conversation going.
  • Conversation pivots from chit-chat to a guaranteed-return investment, crypto platform or token presale.
  • You are pushed to move the chat to a private app, install a custom wallet or wire money to a new account.

What to do if you were targeted

  • Stop sending money or information immediately. Sunk-cost pressure is part of the scam.
  • Report the chat to the platform and, if money was sent, file a report with your bank and local cybercrime unit.
  • If a custom app or wallet was installed, uninstall it and run a malware scan on the device.

Frequently asked questions

What is pig butchering?

A long-running scam where attackers build trust over weeks before steering victims into a fake crypto or trading platform. It is one of the highest-loss fraud categories worldwide.

Can I paste the chat instead of uploading a screenshot?

Yes. Either works. Screenshots preserve formatting and sender names, which can help.

Is my conversation private?

Yes. Content is used only to produce the verdict.
