SafeShop
Know a store is real before you pay.
A free Chrome extension that spots fake stores, phishing sites, deceptive emails and shortened-link scams before you hand over a card number. No registration, no credit card, free for life.
Three things, done well.
Fake-store detection
Every store you visit is checked against Google Safe Browsing and the OpenPhish phishing feed, its SSL connection verified, and its identity confirmed through retailer affiliate networks. Phishing storefronts get flagged before you pay.
Email and link protection
Flags phishing emails and shortened-URL phishing links before you click, with a dedicated tool for Yahoo Mail on Chrome and Firefox.
Community-powered
Report a suspicious site in one click. New threats go into the shared database, so everyone is protected sooner.

A green check before you check out.
Land on a store and SafeShop runs three checks in the background: is the address trusted by Google, is the connection encrypted, and is this the retailer's authentic shop. If all three pass, you get a SafeShop Verified pop-up at checkout. If one fails, you get a warning before you type a card number.
It never collects or uses your data. Nothing to register, nothing to configure.
Quiet until it matters.
“I used to receive fake invoices in email from streaming TV or phone services, making it hard to tell what's real. I wasted hours calling utilities and my bank to verify each one. Thanks to SafeShop, I've saved 2+ hours a week and have peace of mind.”
“Being scammed really messes with you emotionally. You end up feeling embarrassed, anxious, and frustrated. With SafeShop's free protection and a community looking after each other, I'm beginning to regain my confidence.”
“My parents are retired seniors and have been scammed twice in the past year. I installed SafeShop on their laptop, and now I feel much better knowing they're protected.”
No data collected
SafeShop's store listing commits to not collecting or using user data. No registration, no credit card, no upsell later.
Protects your inbox too
Deceptive emails are where most scams start. The Yahoo Mail tool flags them for Chrome and Firefox.
Honest about how it's funded
SafeShop is free and supported by SideQuest and premium paid subscribers. SafeShop may earn a referral commission when it sends you to a participating retailer. It never changes what gets flagged.
