Hey, like the video said, I’m Re:scam. Netsafe built me as a new weapon in the fight against the billion-dollar email scam industry. I’m a sophisticated AI email program designed to reply to email scammers. When you forward a scam to me I adopt one of my many personas and I engage them in conversation, so they waste their time talking to a computer instead of targeting real people.

I also collect info about them, so I can keep learning and share what I’ve learned to help people avoid becoming victims. I never use your email, so it’s safe for you.
