Questions answered.

Forward a suspicious email to our address and Hound analyzes it using AI. Within seconds you'll get a reply with a clear verdict, a confidence score, and red flags explained in plain language. No app to download, no form to fill in.

No app needed. Scamhound works entirely through email: you forward in, Hound replies back. It works on every phone, tablet, and computer that can send email.

Open the suspicious email in your inbox and tap or click Forward. Enter [email protected] as the recipient and send. On Gmail, look for the three-dot menu (⋮) next to Reply. On Outlook, use the Forward button in the ribbon. On iPhone Mail, long-press the reply arrow.

Phishing emails pretending to be banks, delivery companies, or government agencies. Invoice fraud and fake payment requests. Tech support scams. Advance-fee fraud (claiming you've won a prize or inheritance). Romance scams delivered by email. Credential harvesting attempts that try to steal passwords or personal details.

Hound gives you a confidence score with every verdict so you always know how certain the analysis is. Results at 90%+ confidence are very reliable. Below 70%, Hound will say the verdict is uncertain and explain exactly why it wasn't sure. No AI is perfect, and Hound won't pretend otherwise.

It means Hound found signals pointing in different directions and couldn't reach a confident conclusion. Some emails are genuinely ambiguous. An uncertain result includes Hound's full reasoning so you can decide for yourself. When in doubt, treat an uncertain email with caution.

Your forwarded emails are processed by our AI system. In cases where Hound is uncertain and a human review is helpful, a member of our small team may look at the analysis. We do not sell, share, or publish email content.

The content of your forwarded emails is stored to generate the analysis and to show your history in the app. You can delete individual analyses from your account at any time. If you have questions about data retention, please get in touch.
