Phone Security Check — new-tool launch

Lead with what is at risk, then give people a concrete 10-check challenge. Do not claim the website scans their phone.

Your phone can unlock your email, bank apps, photos, location, and password resets. I made a free 10-question Phone Security Check. It gives you a 0–100 score, then walks you through the exact iPhone or Android settings to fix—one checkbox at a time. No signup, and your answers stay in your browser. https://www.yoyosup.com/tools/hub/phone-security.html?ref=phone-security-launch

Show HN (Hacker News)

Post at news.ycombinator.com/submit · title + URL + first comment with details. Best morning US time.

Built client-side pattern matching after watching package/bank smishing hit non-technical relatives. Paste any text → risk score + flags + what to do next. Nothing leaves the browser for the analysis. Also free link/phone checkers and a free Family Safety Check for parents and kids. https://www.yoyosup.com/tools/scamcheck/?ref=hackernews Kit: https://www.yoyosup.com/tools/shop/?ref=hackernews Happy to take feedback on false positives / patterns to add.

Paste a suspicious text. Get an instant scam risk score — free, no signup.
ScamCheck is a free browser tool that scores suspicious SMS, email, and DMs from 0–99 using pattern matching (urgency, lookalike domains, gift-card demands, bank/USPS impersonation, and more). No account. No install. Includes LinkCheck, PhoneCheck, plain-English scam guides, and a free Family Safety Check. Maker story: built so people who aren't "techy" can check a message before they tap.

Directories (stranger SEO + backlinks)

Reddit (strangers only — value first)

Never sell in the title. Reply when someone pastes a sketchy text in r/Scams, r/personalfinance, r/techsupport, r/agingparents, r/Scams, r/applehelp (Apple ID), r/SocialSecurity.

If you want a second opinion fast, paste the full text into this free checker (no signup) — it scores common smishing patterns: https://www.yoyosup.com/tools/scamcheck/?ref=reddit Still trust your bank app over any link in a text.
Toll / DMV pay-link texts are everywhere right now. Official sites only — or paste the whole SMS into this free scorer first: https://www.yoyosup.com/tools/scams/toll-road-text.html?ref=reddit-toll
Apple never texts “unlock your Apple ID” with a random link. Paste the message here for a quick risk score: https://www.yoyosup.com/tools/scams/apple-text.html?ref=reddit-apple

X / Twitter (1 post, tag nothing spammy)

Built a free tool after relatives got USPS/bank smishing texts. Paste any suspicious SMS → 0–99 scam score. No signup. https://www.yoyosup.com/tools/scamcheck/?ref=twitter

SEO pages live (share these for intent traffic)

Monetization from strangers (order that works)

  1. Free tool earns trust (ScamCheck)
  2. $5 kit on result pages + shop for people who want printables
  3. $1–$5 tips after high-risk scores (optional, on-site)
  4. Later: AdSense on guides only · real affiliate IDs · embed sponsorships

Track refs in admin. First stranger $ is usually PH/HN/Reddit spike → shop or tip.
