Every scam leaves prints

Stop the scam before the money moves.

Scam protection for your family. When a purchase looks wrong, Porchia pauses it, shows what it found, and asks someone you trust before the money moves.

Not a lock. Not surveillance. They stay in charge.

How it works

A pause, a text, one tap.

Porchia sits quietly in their browser. When a checkout looks off, or a purchase is big enough for a second opinion, it steps in. Ten seconds of your day.

Two phones on a table. On their phone, Porchia has paused a purchase. On yours, a text asks you to take a look.
  1. Their phone1

    It pauses

    Before any money moves, Porchia shows what it found.

  2. Your phone2

    You get a text

    The amount, the store and what looked wrong. One tap to answer.

  3. Both3

    Nothing was charged

    And nobody felt policed. Next time they'll spot it on their own.

It looks real until you put it under the light.

Some version of this text has probably reached your phone. Move the light across it, or turn it on, and find the four things that give it away.

Examiner's notes

Four giveaways

Each one is small. Together they're a verdict.

  1. A
    A random numberIt comes from a number you've never seen, not one your toll agency uses.
  2. B
    A tiny amount$3.47 is small enough that you pay without thinking. That's the point.
  3. C
    A penalty and a deadlineThe $50 fee is there to rush you past the other clues.
  4. D
    A web address that isn't the agency's.info, with "pay" in the name. Look up your toll agency yourself instead.
Verdict: scam

Don't tap the link. Type your toll agency's site in yourself.
