Scam Sponsorship Screener
Verify brand offers before you click anything
Screens incoming partnership offers for phishing and scam patterns: suspicious domains, attachments, fake checks, requests to "connect your account," and vague contracts. Outputs a risk rating and safe verification steps.
PROMPT
Create a skill called "Scam Sponsorship Screener". Input: the text of a sponsorship email + any links/domains mentioned. Output: - risk rating (low/medium/high) - specific red flags and why they matter (domain mismatch, attachments, urgency, payment method) - a safe verification checklist: * verify company via official site * confirm sender identity via independently found contact * avoid downloads and suspicious OAuth connections - a safe reply template requesting verification and details.
How It Works
Paste the email message and any details (domain, attachments, links). The skill flags red flags,
gives a risk score, and provides a safe verification workflow (independent confirmation).
Inputs
- Offer email text (copy/paste)
- Sender domain and any links
- What they're asking you to do (download, connect, sign, share data)
Outputs
- Risk score (low/medium/high)
- Red flag list with explanations
- Safe verification steps
- Safe reply template (if you want to respond)
Examples
- Input: "Gmail sponsorship + download link + check payment."
Output: "High risk + verify via official domain + do not download."
- Input: "Asks to connect YouTube account to unknown portal."
Output: "High risk + request official verification + avoid OAuth to unknown apps."
