Check a message

Always check who sent it. Tap the sender’s name to see their real email address or number, and paste that in too. A company name on a Gmail, Yahoo or Outlook address is a scam.

This runs on your own phone or computer. Nothing you paste is sent to us or saved anywhere. Don’t paste passwords or codes into any website, including this one. This is a quick check, not a guarantee.

Our official emailsIcys World only emails you from:
  • sachisicy@gmail.com (orders, shipping and support)
  • icysworld222@gmail.com (Icys World news and drops)

Order emails may say “via shopifyemail.com” and newsletters may show as …gmail.com@send.mailchimpapp.com. That’s normal. Our only websites are sachisicy.com and icysworld.com. Anything else using our name is fake, so paste it above to check. We will never ask for your password, a code, or payment by email or DM.

Red flags

If a message does any of these, slow down.

01It rushes you

“Act now,” “final notice,” “your account will be closed.” Panic is the point.

02It wants weird payment

Gift cards, crypto, wire transfers, or Zelle and Cash App to a stranger.

03It asks for a code

Nobody legit needs the code texted to your phone. Sharing it hands over your account.

04The sender or link looks off

A company name on a Gmail or Yahoo address, misspelled names like “paypa1,” or strange endings like .xyz. Tap the sender’s name to see the real address and paste it above.

05It’s too good

You won a prize you never entered for, or a job pays big for almost nothing.

06It says keep it secret

“Don’t tell your bank.” Real help never asks you to hide it.

Already clicked or paid?

It happens to smart people every day. Move fast and don’t be embarrassed.

Right now
  • Call your bank or card company using the number on the back of your card. Ask them to stop or reverse the payment.
  • Gift card? Call the company on the card (Apple, Google, Target, etc.) and report it.
  • Change the password on any account you typed into their link, and turn on two-step login.
Report it
  • ReportFraud.ftc.gov for most scams.
  • IC3.gov (FBI) for online and crypto scams.
  • IdentityTheft.gov if they got your Social Security number or opened accounts in your name.
  • Forward scam texts to 7726 (SPAM) to report them to your carrier.

Lock down your phone

Five minutes that block most scams.

01Turn on two-step login

Use an authenticator app for email, bank and social accounts.

02Add a carrier PIN

Ask your phone carrier for a port-out PIN so nobody can steal your number.

03Freeze your credit

Free at Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. Nobody can open credit in your name.
