AI tool · CHAPTER 07
Scam Check
Paste the offer. Get it run through the book's Reality Check protocol, with the page it comes from.
Not live yetThe tool has not been switched on. Everything below shows exactly what it will ask for and exactly what it will give back — nothing you type here goes anywhere today.
Someone has offered you something. Money for a “simple task”, a brand deal, a crypto tip, a modelling contract, a job that starts with buying your own equipment. This tool reads it against the specific pressure tactics Chapter 7 names, and tells you which ones are in the message in front of you.
What it asks for
An AI model reads what you paste. Nothing is stored.Paste it as it arrived. Take the person's name, your name, phone numbers and links out first — the tool does not need them and it works fine without them.
Disabled until the tool is live. It is disabled rather than hidden so you can see the whole thing before you decide whether you would ever use it.
What it gives back
One answer, in four parts, every time. It is not a chat: there is one input and one structured result, and there is no way to keep talking to it.
Example output — not a verdict on anything you have
What matched
- Urgency — “today only”, “last spot”, “reply in the next hour”
- Asks you to send money before anything is delivered
- Asks for ID, a bank card, or a photo of a document
- Asks you to sign terms, or to promote a financial product

Do this next
Do not reply. Do not send money, a document, a photo of ID, or anything signed. Screenshot the message, then show one adult.
Every red and yellow answer ends the same way, on purpose. The tool is not the decision — it is the thing you take to the person who makes it.
The Reality Check this runs on
Straight from printed page 30, in full and unedited. If the tool is down, this is the tool.
Reality Check
Red · an adult must be involved
Urgency is a common manipulation tactic. Never send money, sign terms, share ID, meet strangers, or promote financial products without a parent or guardian and appropriate professional advice.
If it is worse than a scam
Threats, sexual messages, someone asking you to keep a friendship secret, or someone threatening to share something about you: that is not a scam-detection problem, and no tool on this page is the right answer to it.
Helpline finder — not in place yet
This site does not yet list a helpline you can call or message. One verified finder — international, plus one for the Netherlands — is being checked with someone who does safeguarding professionally, and it will be added here before this site goes live. Making one up in the meantime would be the worse mistake, so the routes below are the ones this page can stand behind today. Nothing here is a crisis service, including the mailbox in the footer: nobody reads that urgently.
- Tell one adult today — a parent or guardian, a teacher, or your school's safeguarding lead. If the first adult does not act, tell a second one.
- The police, or your local emergency number, if you have been threatened or you are frightened for your safety.
- Report the account through the platform's own report function, as well as — never instead of — a person.
- What to do about threats, sexual messages or blackmail, in full. It does not need this tool to be running.
Do not reply, do not pay, and do not delete the evidence. Nothing you did makes this your fault, including anything you sent. You do not have to work out what happened before you tell someone, and you are not in trouble for saying it out loud.
About the AI, plainly
It is AI
What you paste is read by an AI model. That model can be wrong, and it can be confidently wrong. Treat the answer as a second opinion, never as the verdict.
Nothing is stored
Not what you paste, not the answer, and not a log of either. It is sent, answered and dropped. There is no account here and nowhere for it to be kept.
It is not a chat
One input, one answer. It cannot be talked into doing something else, it never writes in Ryan's voice, and it never generates content from the book.
Some things it will not answer
If a message involves self-harm, abuse, grooming or blackmail, the tool stops checking and gives one fixed response instead: tell a trusted adult today, and the routes set out under If it is worse than a scam above. Those situations are not a scam-detection problem and it will not pretend otherwise.
If it is down
Nothing else on this site stops working. Read the Reality Check above, then run Chapter 7's Play by hand — it is five steps and it is the same method the tool automates.
