What it does

Re:scam is an initiative aimed to help people from becoming fraud victims by occupying the time and resources of scammers through deploying a well-educated artificially intelligent chat-bot. Instead of junking or deleting a scam email, you can now forward it to Re:scam who will continue the conversation indefinitely!

Our mission is to waste scammers time by responding to their emails in the most time-consuming way possible. The more time spent talking to our bot, the less time scammers have to target real people. Join us in the fight against online scams.
