Ania, the family scam-checking hotline
Ania lets families send suspicious texts, emails, links, screenshots, pop-ups, QR codes, or uneasy feelings for a plain-English verdict and next steps.
Field notes
The described workflow accepts forwarded messages, photographed screens, links, QR codes, calls, and even a vague feeling that something is wrong. It returns a three-color verdict, plain-language reasoning, an urgency level, and a short checklist; the page also describes an “I messed up” recovery route. Family controls are framed around privacy dials, with guardians seeing activity headlines rather than message contents. The homepage lists a free tier, individual pricing, and a $14.99 monthly family plan.
