Recommended by Dorset Police, Ask Silver is an AI-powered scam checker that consumers can use to check if something is a scam or not. It is completely free and can be used online or inside WhatsApp, after signing up, if you want to keep it close at hand.

If you receive something you're not sure about whether it’s a letter, website, email or phone call you can easily get a second opinion by entering screenshots, photos, phone numbers or website links into Ask Silver. What you enter is analysed and within 30 seconds you'll receive a verdict in plain English explaining any scam warning signs detected. If a scam is spotted you can report it with a tap on a button and it will be shared with the authorities and any organisations being impersonated.
