While Ask Silver aims to provide you with an accurate result, the final result is not guaranteed to be 100% correct. Always do your own research.

How does it work?

Using the power of AI, Ask Silver will instantly check on the communication in question and indicate whether it’s safe or a ‘Red Flag’, also suggesting next steps to stay safe.

Is it genuinely ‘free’?

Yes, it is genuinely free. No catches, no need to create an account and definitely no need to give us your personal details.

Working with our partners, our mission is to help you stay safe online. Providing Ask Silver is part of this mission.

Do you collect and store any data?

Get Safe Online has no access to your data and does not store data you upload.

Ask Silver processes your data confidentially under its T&Cs. An anonymised version of your data may be used to train models to improve its scam identifying abilities, helping you and others stay safe.

Please do not upload any screenshots that contain any personally identifiable or sensitive information.
