Re:scam is an online service designed to help users deal with email scams. Functioning like artificial intelligence, Re:scam engages with email scammers in conversation to prevent them from scamming others. Users simply forward scam or spam emails to the Re:scam address, and the bot takes over from there. The AI then interacts with the scammer, wasting their time by asking questions and pretending to be interested. This way, scammers have less time to target real victims.
Because the AI is designed to sound human, it retains realistic details like spelling mistakes to create an authentic experience—making it difficult for scammers to tell whether they're speaking to a real person or a bot.
