yoyosup is a small independent project that builds free, no-signup tools and plain-English guides so people can check suspicious messages, follow news, and glance at rates without installing an app or creating an account.
Mainly this: watching aging parents face scams makes you sick to your stomach. Package-fee texts, fake bank alerts, and “your boss needs gift cards” hit families every week. There are a lot of dirtbags in the world—and most people do not want another subscription or a sales pitch when they are already anxious.
The goal is simple: paste first, panic later — free checkers that run in the browser, plus guides you can forward to a parent or group chat. The same brand also runs a multi-source news attention map and a rates/markets dashboard, so everyday questions live in one place.
How the free tools work
Scam text scoring is designed to run in your browser with pattern-based analysis. We do not sell the
contents of messages you paste. We collect lightweight, anonymous usage stats (page views, tool counts,
optional ?ref= tags) so we know what helps people. Details are in the
Privacy Policy.
I’m Tony, 56. I grew up in rural central Minnesota (grade schools and all), studied computer science at BYU and a number of other schools, and I’ve worked in high tech since before the internet was a thing—QA and development on network infrastructure tools. I work for a cybersecurity company today and have extensive experience in that space. I’ve lived in Utah since 1994.
I remarried in my forties—upending life mid-life sucks—but I’ve been happily remarried for the past seven years. Our blended family has seven kids and three grandkids. That family lens is why these tools are written in plain English for parents and people who are not “techy.”
yoyosup is a small independent side project—not a large media company. No app store product, no mandatory signup. Ads and optional tips help keep the lights on when partners approve them; the free tools stay usable without paying.
Questions, advice, or “can you write about…?”
This site is still smallish, and I’m happy to respond to advice or questions of any sort—tools, scam situations, family tech stuff, or whatever’s on your mind. I may not have King Solomon’s wisdom, but I hear I give good advice 🤷♂️ — so ask, and maybe I’ll write a bit each week on a topic. Use the Contact page or Feedback on any tools page.
Questions, corrections, or partnership notes: Contact page (or the Feedback control on tools pages). We read messages; we do not add you to a marketing list when you leave optional email for a reply.
