Is this real? "BANK ALERT: a $499.00 charge was flagged. Verify now: secure-chase-verify.com"
🚩 That's a scam. Chase doesn't send verification links by text, and that domain isn't theirs.
Don't tap the link. If you're worried about your account, call the number on the back of your card.
Phew. Thank you!! 🙏
Anytime. Stay safe out there. 💚

How Sam works

No app to download, no account to set up. If you can send a text, you can ask Sam.

Text the number

Send Sam a suspicious message, link, or a note about a call.

Sam reads it

In seconds. Not minutes.

You get a plain answer

Safe, sketchy, or a scam. And what to do.

A human backs Sam up

When Sam isn't sure, a Vaye teammate takes a look.

Be first to know

Sam is live today. Vaye is building more tools like it for the people who raised us. Leave your email and we'll write when there's something new to try.

We'll only email when there's a new product to try. No spam. Vaye is built for people who get enough of that already.

About Vaye

We're a small studio building tools for the people who raised us. We make things that older adults can actually use, and we make them for the people who love them.

We're starting with Sam. Sam is a scam-checking assistant that our users reach out to over text message. From here the work expands, always in the same direction, always for the same family.
