About RedFlagThis
The reality check before you commit.
Every week, someone we know gets burned. A job ad that turned out to be a reshipping scam. A rental listing that took a deposit and disappeared. A dating message that ended with a Western Union transfer. A contract that quietly auto-renewed for another two years.
The information to spot these patterns exists. It's scattered across consumer protection sites, forum threads, legal blogs and cautionary tales. Nobody has time to learn it all before making a decision.
RedFlagThis is a single place to paste anything suspicious and get an honest read. Not a lawyer. Not a fraud investigator. Just a fast, plain-English second opinion from an AI that has read more scams, contracts and manipulation tactics than any human ever will.
Why we built it
Because the existing tools are all siloed. There are job scam checkers. Separate rental checkers. Separate gaslighting detectors. Separate contract reviewers. Nobody owns the single "is this legit" question that real people actually ask.
One input. Multiple detection modes. The AI figures out what it's looking at.
What we believe
- The content you paste is yours. We analyse it and discard it. We don't save or reuse what you send us.
- Plain English beats legalese. If an explanation needs a law degree, we've failed.
- Everyone deserves a second opinion. That's why there's always a free tier. Power users who want unlimited scans, history and exports can pay later, but a meaningful free plan is here to stay.
- AI is a tool, not an oracle. We help you think, we don't think for you.
Who's behind it
RedFlagThis is built in Australia by a small, independent team. We're the kind of people friends text to ask "is this legit?", so we built the tool we wish everyone had before those decisions got made.
