Living abroad is hard enough.
Your documents should not be a gamble.
ScanWize helps expats understand official-looking letters, invoices, fines and payment requests before paying, clicking, scanning QR codes or sharing personal data.
It explains the document in plain language and checks senders, links, QR codes, IBANs, phone numbers, deadlines and payment details for warning signs.
ScanWize is for expats who need to understand foreign documents and check whether payment requests, QR codes, links, IBANs and sender details look trustworthy before acting.
Scammers know expats hesitate.
When a document arrives in an unfamiliar system, it is easy to overpay, ignore the wrong thing, or trust a fake notice because it looks official. The real risk is not only misunderstanding the words. It is acting before you know whether the request is safe.
A translated sentence can still miss the deadline, risk, payment instruction or hidden pressure tactic.
Municipalities, utilities, tax offices and telecom providers all look different from country to country.
Fake fines and invoices often use short deadlines because hesitation protects you.
A second pair of eyes before you act abroad.
Plain-language explanation
Understand what the document means, what matters, and what you are being asked to do.
Sender credibility
Check whether the claimed sender and contact details fit the official organization.
Payment details
Flag unusual IBANs, payment destinations and requests that do not match the claimed sender.
QR-code risk
Check where a QR code leads before you scan and pay.
Pressure tactics
Surface urgent wording, threats and fake deadlines that are common in fraud attempts.
Link safety
Review suspicious URLs and off-document websites before clicking.
Use ScanWize when paperwork creates doubt.
- You receive a fine, tax notice, utility bill or municipality letter in a language you do not fully understand.
- A document asks for payment through a QR code, link, IBAN or unfamiliar payment method.
- The sender looks official, but the contact details or website feel slightly off.
- You need to know whether to act now, verify first, or ignore a suspicious request.
ScanWize does not replace official verification.
It gives you a structured first safety check and safer next steps. For legal, tax, immigration or payment matters, confirm through the official organization directly before taking high-risk action.
Before you pay abroad, check the document.
Upload the document, understand what it says, and see whether payment details, links and sender information raise scam-risk signals.
