About SafeHop: Scam, Phishing & Fake Shop Blocker
Stop online scams before they reach you.
Phishing logins, fake shops, malicious ads, fake virus alerts and malware downloads all rely on one thing: you clicking before you can tell. SafeHop checks every link and page as you browse and stops the dangerous ones, then explains why in plain words.
SAFER SEARCH RESULTS
On popular search engines, SafeHop marks risky results and scam ads before you click. Sponsored results are checked against where they really lead. Click a badge to see why.
CHECK A MESSAGE
Paste a suspicious text message, chat message or email into the SafeHop popup. It spots fake delivery fees, "account blocked" warnings, fake prizes, fake job offers and fake police threats, and checks every link in it. Works in English, Japanese, Spanish and Hindi.
UNMASKS HIDDEN SCAM PAGES
Some scam ads show reviewers a normal shop and only reveal a fake virus alert when a real person moves the mouse. SafeHop recognises this hiding trick, and pages that lock your keyboard or reopen when you try to leave. A "Close this page" button gets you out.
SCAMS SAFEHOP STOPS
• Phishing: fake bank, payment and delivery-company login pages
• Fake online shops: copied brand names and "clearance" stores on brand-new domains
• Malicious and cloaked ads: ads that show a trusted website but send you somewhere else
• Fake virus alerts: "your computer is infected, call this number" tech-support scams
• "Click Allow" traps: pages that ask you to allow notifications "to prove you're not a robot"
• Malware and fake updates: dangerous downloads are stopped before they are saved
• "Paste this command" traps: fake "verify you are human" pages that tell you to run a command
• Crypto scams: fake exchanges and pages that ask for your wallet's recovery phrase
HOW IT DECIDES
• Follows every redirect, including hops too fast to see
• Reads the page itself, on your device, so fake logins and fake alerts are caught even on brand-new sites
• Spots page tricks: hidden content revealed on mouse move, keyboard locks, Back-button traps, forced fullscreen
• Catches well-known names used on the wrong website, and lookalike spellings
• Checks hundreds of thousands of known malware and phishing sites, updated through the day
• Warns about domains registered days ago or set up exactly like known scam sites
• Learns from users: report a scam in one click; once confirmed, everyone is protected within the hour
CLEAR ANSWERS
• Looks safe: nothing happens, browse as usual
• Suspicious: a small banner lists the warning signs so you can decide
• Dangerous: the page or download is stopped, with an explanation
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Link, page and message analysis run inside your browser; page content and messages never leave your device
• For unfamiliar sites, only the site name is checked with our server, never the full address, what you type, or page content
• On search pages, your search terms are never sent
• No accounts, no ads, no data selling
• Cloud checks and search ratings can be switched off at any time
Free.
