# How is reporting different from check for scams?

<mark style="color:blue;">**Check for Scams**</mark> - **if** **you are unsure** of whether you have received a scam, you may check the message, phone number or link using the ScamShield app.&#x20;

<mark style="color:blue;">**Submitting a Scam Report**</mark> - when **you are pretty sure** a message or call is a scam, it is more useful to go ahead and report it so that it can be reviewed by the team.
