In today’s digital landscape, fraud and scam attempts are increasingly sophisticated. Texans alone reported nearly $1,000,000 in scam related losses last year. Phishing texts, fraudulent links and impersonator calls are becoming harder to detect, making vigilance essential for safe banking.
To help address these growing threats, Extraco Banks offers the Web Safety Tracker, a free, web based tool designed to help you quickly verify the legitimacy of suspicious digital communications.
Your Digital Safety Tool
The Web Safety Tracker is easy to use and accessible to everyone. There is no need to download an app or register an account. Simply access the tool online whenever you encounter a questionable text message, link, screenshot, email or phone number. In just seconds, you will receive feedback that helps you decide what to do next.
Scammers often rely on urgency to pressure people into acting quickly. The Web Safety Tracker encourages you to pause for just two seconds before responding. That brief moment can help prevent clicking harmful links, sharing sensitive information or sending money to imposters.
How the Web Safety Tracker Works
Using the Web Safety Tracker is straightforward and convenient on any device. Simply visit www.extracobanks.com/safety and upload or enter the suspicious message, link, screenshot, email or phone number. You will receive an immediate safety assessment to help guide your next steps. This quick process empowers you to make informed decisions and avoid costly mistakes.

The Web Safety Tracker offers practical tools designed to support everyday digital safety, including real time scam and fraud checks for digital messages and phone numbers. The tool requires no downloads or installations, making it easy to access from any device. For those who prefer hands on assistance, step by step guidance is available in branch. Each feature works together to promote safer habits and increased digital awareness.
