Percy presents a scam-checking companion for texts, calls, emails, and letters, alongside a public scam-spotting quiz.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-18 issue.

For: People checking suspicious messages or calls
Worth noticing: A sample statement traces a $9.99 monthly charge to $359.64 over 36 months.

Field notes

The page contrasts a typo-filled phishing text with a polished message that claims to be from a bank’s fraud team, illustrating why spelling mistakes alone are no longer a reliable warning sign. It also presents a sample account statement where a recurring $9.99 “CLOUDPLUS” charge adds up to $359.64 over 36 months. The service’s research process is described on the page, but the supplied extract does not show it being tested.
