Gmork Scam Guard
Scam protection for small business email
Small-business inboxes get fake vendor invoices, new bank details, and messages that look like a partner or a customer. Gmork Scam Guard Workplace is a browser extension for Chrome and Edge on the office computers. It warns staff before they click, sign in or pay. Business use is not covered by the free home plan. Workplace starts at 5 seats for $25 a month, with a 14-day free trial and no card needed.
What the office gets
What staff see
A warning on a fake sign-in page, a look-alike sender, a link that does not go where the text says, a payment to new bank details, a gift-card request, or a prompt to install remote access. For an unknown sender, only the bare domain is sent to gmork.com to check for no working website, a forward to another site, or a newly registered domain.
Workplace, not the home plan
Workplace is required for a business of any size, including 1 to 5 people. It adds the AI check on every seat, a seat dashboard, settings staff cannot turn off, and IT alerts. The alert says the kind of warning and the time, not the message. Prices: 5 seats at $25 a month ($250 a year), 10 at $40 ($400), 20 at $60 ($600), 100 at $200 ($2,000) and 1,000 at $1,000 ($10,000). 10,000 seats is arranged by contacting the site. Annual price is ten times the monthly price. A medical or dental office can turn on HIPAA-safe mode, which turns the AI check off.
What it will not do
It will not catch every scam, and it does not replace calling a vendor on a number you already have before you change where money goes. It runs on desktop Chrome and Edge, not on phones. It does not read passwords or card numbers.
How this compares
Categories of tools, described by the job they do. This is not a review of a named product, and it does not claim what another company’s tool does.
| What you compare | Gmork Scam Guard | A webmail spam filter | An antivirus suite | Other browser extensions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | A browser extension that warns you about scam emails, messages and fake sites before you click, sign in or pay. | A filter built into webmail. It sorts mail the provider thinks is unwanted. It does not explain a sender’s domain, and it does not run on other websites. | Software that looks for malware on the computer. That is a different job from reading an email or a chat and warning you before you act. | Extensions differ. Some block ads, some store passwords, some flag sites already on a block list. This page does not review a named product. |
| Where it runs | Chrome and Edge on a Windows, Mac, Chromebook or Linux computer. Opera on a computer can install the same listing from the Chrome Web Store. Not on phones. | Inside that mailbox only. | On the device where you install the suite. It is not a warning inside webmail. | In the browser they support. What they check depends on that extension. |
| Scam and phishing email | Checks the email you have open in Gmail or Outlook on the web, and incoming messages in Messenger, WhatsApp Web and Google Voice. | Can move suspected spam out of the inbox. A message that lands in the inbox still needs a person to judge it. | Not built to explain the wording of an email in the browser. | Only if that extension is built to read webmail. Many are not. |
| Sender domain | For senders it does not already know, it asks gmork.com about the bare domain: whether a working website answers, whether the site forwards somewhere else, and whether the domain was registered recently. It also warns about look-alike addresses. | May use the provider’s own reputation. It does not show you those domain facts on the message. | Not what a typical suite is for. | Some flag known bad domains. Whether they explain a new domain, a forward, or a missing website depends on that product. |
| Sign-in, payment and remote-access downloads | Holds a risky sign-in while you decide, checks payment pages, and can pause a download of a remote-access tool such as AnyDesk or TeamViewer. | Does not run on the website you open next, and does not pause a download. | Some suites warn about downloads. That is not the same as a warning on the sign-in page in the browser. | Varies. This page does not claim what another extension does. |
| Optional AI check | Off until you turn it on. When it is on, a cleaned-up copy of the open email or messages is sent out for a second opinion. HIPAA-safe mode turns that AI check off. | A spam filter is not this optional check. | A suite is not this optional check. | Varies by product. |
| Price for home use | Free for personal, non-commercial home use. Plus is $4 a month or $40 a year for one person. Family is $8 a month or $80 a year for up to 5 people. Paid plans have a 14-day free trial. | The filter is part of the mailbox. It is not a separate scam advisor. | Usually a paid subscription for the suite. That vendor sets the price. | Some are free and some are paid. This page does not list their prices. |
| Business and medical offices | Business use needs Workplace, from 5 seats at $25 a month, with a 14-day free trial. Medical and dental offices can turn on HIPAA-safe mode, which turns the AI check off. That mode is not a HIPAA certification. | A mailbox filter does not add a workplace license or a mode that turns an outside AI check off. | A suite is not a workplace scam-warning license for the browser. | Varies. A business still needs to know what leaves the browser. |
Questions
Can we use the free extension at the office?
No. Free, Plus and Family are for personal home use. A business needs Workplace, whatever its size.
Does it store our email?
No. gmork.com stores counts, not messages. The optional AI check sends a cleaned-up copy only when it is on. Sender checks send the bare domain only.
Is there a trial?
Yes. Workplace has a 14-day free trial, no card needed, even if someone already tried a home plan. If you do not add a card by the end, nothing is charged and checking stops on the office computers.
Start a Workplace trial
14 days, no card. Then add it to Chrome or Edge on the office computers.
