Can an app tell me if a message is a scam?
An app can help you spot the warning signs, but no app can tell you for certain that a message is safe or that it is a scam. Treat any app's answer as a second opinion, then check for yourself: contact the real company at a number you look up, never the one in the message.

What Hammock365 does
Hammock365 is a daily check-in app for a parent who lives alone. It includes Maggie, an AI assistant anyone in the family can ask. Paste a suspicious text or email, describe a call, or tap the camera button to send a photo or screenshot of a letter or a message. Maggie will:
- point out the warning signs she sees, like pressure, secrecy, or a request for gift cards or a wire
- tell you not to call back, click, or reply using anything in the message
- tell you how to check with the real organization, for example the number on the back of a bank card, or Social Security at 1-800-772-1213
- tell you what to do if money already went out
What it does not do
- It does not block calls, texts, or emails. It is not a scam blocker or a spam filter.
- It does not give a verdict. Maggie never says a message is safe or definitely a scam.
- It can be wrong. Maggie is an AI. Her answer is information, not advice you should act on without checking.
Cover account numbers, Social Security numbers, and passwords before you send a photo.
The free plan includes 10 messages with Maggie. The paid plan, $14.99 a month for the whole family, includes her every day.
