Surfshark
We’re excited to introduce our latest Surshark One and One+ bundle feature: the email scam checker! Designed to help keep you safe from phishing attacks, this tool uses AI to spot scams in your emails before they can cause harm. Want to know more? Let’s get into the details!
What is the email scam checker?
The email scam checker is a tool integrated into our Chrome browser extension and Gmail designed to help protect you from phishing attacks and email scams.
It uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze emails for signs of manipulation, such as suspicious content, sender information, and other characteristics common in phishing attempts.
The tool also detects malicious links, reducing your device’s risk of malware infections. This easy-to-use feature provides on-demand protection, giving you peace of mind while managing your emails.
Why should you use the email scam checker?
These days, email scams and phishing attacks are more common than ever. Phishing emails have evolved into sophisticated scams, with 3.4 billion sent daily and 1.5 million new phishing websites created monthly.
Scammers are getting smarter, using AI to create emails that look real enough to fool anyone. These scams mimic trusted brands, create urgency, and use familiar scenarios, like fake bank requests, to deceive even the most cautious users.
That’s why it’s so important to have protection to keep your personal info safe.
How to use the email scam checker
To use our email scam checker, you need to have an active Surfshark One or One+ subscription.
Once activated, download our Google Chrome browser extension, as this feature is available only on Chrome-based extensions. Open the extension settings, click on the Email scam checker tab, and turn the feature on.
Now, open your Gmail account, open an email you’d like to check, and click Check email. That’s it! And since Surfshark allows you to connect unlimited devices, you can extend this protection to your loved ones, too.
How we ensure the privacy of your data
Surfshark’s email scam checker uses AI, which we’ve optimized. The service runs exclusively on servers we fully control, so your data is never stored on outside platforms that might use the data for AI training. After each scam checker request, your data is promptly deleted — meaning it is never shared. For more information, check out our Privacy Policy.
