    I'm not very tech-savvy, so I was nervous at first. But this is very straightforward. I just send the message and get an answer back. That's exactly what I needed.

    I've seen scams that look very real. This gives me a second opinion before I respond to anything. Definitely worth using.

    I've had a few close calls with scam messages. This gives me a quick way to double check before I do anything. That alone makes it valuable.
