Defend Yourself from Email Scammers
Re:scam is a web-based tool that helps people respond to scam and spam messages. Instead of replying directly, you forward suspicious emails to the Re:scam address and let the system take over the conversation.
What the Service Does
The program imitates a genuine correspondence partner and keeps scammers occupied by asking follow-up questions and pretending to be interested. By tying up a scammer’s time, it reduces the chance they can target other victims. The system intentionally preserves human-like mistakes and casual phrasing so the exchange feels authentic and the scammer can’t tell if they’re dealing with a person or an automated responder.
How to Use It
Forward any scam or junk email to the Re:scam address. Once received, the service assumes the conversation and continues exchanging messages with the sender, wasting their time so they aren’t effective elsewhere.
