Free instant scan — paste comments, get the report now
The same pattern engine and risk bands as our full channel scans, running entirely in your browser. Paste a batch of comments from your channel and see the report in seconds — flagged count, scam-type breakdown, and every flagged comment with the reason it was caught.
What this can and cannot do: this instant tool scans comments you paste in — nothing you paste is uploaded or stored anywhere; it never leaves this browser tab. Reading a channel's comments automatically is the other path: request a free channel scan (we read the public comments for you), or connect your channel later — automatic reading and acting on your channel requires your YouTube authorization, which is a separate connect step and is not part of this free tool.

Flagged by scam type
Flagged comments
Adding an item records a disposition in your cleanup workspace (stored in this browser). Hiding a comment on YouTube itself happens in YouTube Studio — or automatically once your channel is connected with your authorization.
Method & limits
Classification is pattern-based — impersonation signals, known lure phrases, off-platform handles, giveaway and crypto patterns — the same four categories as the demo report and the real anonymized scan. Borderline items are marked “suspicious” rather than asserted as scams.
Paste-based scanning sees only what you paste. It cannot see comments YouTube is holding for review, and it deletes or hides nothing by itself.
