How the check works

What the check looks at

• The sender

  Does the address really belong to the company the email claims to be from?

• The links

  Where do they lead, and do they hide their destination?

• Pressure

  Deadlines, threats, account closures, fines and prizes.

• Requests

  Passwords, security codes, payments or gift cards.

• The story

  Does it make sense for an email you did not expect?

The sender and link checks follow fixed rules. The wording is judged by an AI model. The two results are combined: an email whose sender or links fail the fixed checks is never shown as free of warning signs, however harmless the text reads.

What it cannot do

• It only sees what you paste. It cannot see the technical headers of the email or open attachments.
• It can be wrong in both directions. A careful, well-written scam can pass, and an unusual but genuine email can be flagged.
• It is not a guarantee. When money, a password or a code is involved, confirm with the sender through a channel you already trust.

What happens to the email you paste

The sender, subject and text are sent to our server, judged and then discarded. They are not saved and are not used to contact you. We count how many checks come from an internet address so that the free service is not abused.
