This is a real scam email that arrived in someone's inbox. Let's check it together, the same way you would.

You'll see each step of ScamCheck, and at the end, the actual answer ScamCheck gave for this email.

This is a demonstration. Nothing is sent anywhere, and nothing from your phone or computer is used.

Your picture
A scam email that looks like it's from Paramount+. The sender is Pedro Rojas. It says Your Subscription has expired, your payment failed, and has a red Extend for Free button.

Checking your message…

In the real app, this usually takes a few seconds.

Step 3 of 3

Here's the answer ScamCheck gave for this email, word for word.

About the email
⚠️ LIKELY A SCAM
This email pretends to be from Paramount+ but was actually sent by a person named "Pedro Rojas," not an official company address — that's a big red flag. It uses urgency and fear ("subscription expired," "payment failed") to rush you into clicking a link and entering payment details. Do not click "Extend for Free" or enter any card information; instead, delete this email and check your subscription status directly on Paramount's official website or app.

If you're still unsure, call the company yourself using a number you look up — not one from the message.

The warning signs

Scams like this one are built to look real. Here's what gave it away:

  1. The sender. It says Paramount+, but it came from "Pedro Rojas," a person, not the company.
  2. Fear and hurry. "Your subscription has expired" and "your payment has failed" are meant to make you act before you think.
  3. It wants your card. "Update my payment details" is the real goal: getting your credit card number.
  4. It doesn't add up. It says your payment failed, then offers to "Extend for Free" and "90 Days Free."
  5. A hidden clue. Gmail offered to translate it, a hint that the email contains text in another language.

Now try it with a message of your own.
