Flggd Verdict
Scam
Red flag
High confidence of a scam. The content, the sender, the intent and where its requests lead all point the same way. Do not reply, click, call or pay.
Why Flggd says this
What this message wants you to do
The message uses scare tactics and impersonates Windows Support to prompt immediate action, which is a common scam strategy.
What to do next
Do not reply, click any link, call any number in the message or send money. If it claims to be from an organisation you know, contact them using details you already trust.

Flggd Verdict
Scam
Red flag
High confidence of a scam. The content, the sender, the intent and where its requests lead all point the same way. Do not reply, click, call or pay.
Why Flggd says this
What this message wants you to do
The message claims a package is on hold due to an unpaid fee and directs to a suspicious URL, which is a common tactic in phishing scams.
What to do next
Do not reply, click any link, call any number in the message or send money. If it claims to be from an organisation you know, contact them using details you already trust.
What happens when you check a message. Flggd reads the whole message: what it says, who sent it, what it is trying to achieve, what it asks you to do and where that leads. It compares all of that with the scams it already knows, then grades how confident it is. The answer is one of four verdicts: Red flag, Yellow flag, Grey flag or Green flag, each with the reasons behind it and what to do next.
The library. Every verdict is backed by a library of documented scams, organised by scam type and by the tactics scammers use. When a message looks like a known scam, Flggd shows you the closest one so you can read how it works.
What the app adds. The app does the same check on your phone, keeps a history, teaches the warning signs, and can check your email for you.
What Flggd does not claim. Flggd does not catch every scam, and no service does. A verdict is an assessment, not a guarantee: a message Flggd does not flag may still be a scam. Flggd cannot recover money that has already been sent. If money has moved, call your bank first.
