About this tool
Enter any website URL, and our tool will scan it automatically against a dozen criteria to let you know whether it's safe or suspicious.
What We Look Up For You
- Security Seals: Is the website using current encryption (HTTPS) to protect your data?
- Domain Age & History: How old is the website? Spammers use freshly created websites.
- Blacklist Status: Has the site been flagged for malware, phishing, or other abuse?
- Real-World Reviews: What do other people say? We look for patterns in crowd-sourced reviews and complaints. Internet scams are evolving by the day, with cases of offending web sites rising over 20% in the last year alone. The missing padlock symbol (no HTTPS) is a sure sign, but no longer enough to act on. We drill deeper, uncovering user complaints of non-delivery, fake products, or phishing scams linked to the domain.
Don't trust your instincts. Our widget helps you do the tedious task of checking a site's credibility easier. We look for the things scammers tend to miss, like real contact information, a business-like appearance, and a history of good conduct.
Pro Tips for Being Safe
- Always look for the padlock: Never enter personal or payment info on a site without HTTPS.
- Don't trust new websites: A site registered last week is much riskier than a site that's been up for years.
- Google it: Type the site's name with "reviews" or "scam" to see what people are saying about it. Our Website Scam Detector provides you with an easy-to-understand trust score so you can click with confidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I immediately know whether a website is safe?
Plug in the URL here. We check for HTTPS, domain age, blacklist history, ownership, and regular online reviews, then we return a definitive Safe / Caution decision with what to do next.
Does the padlock (HTTPS) signal that the site is safe?
No. HTTPS only encrypts the link. It's used by scammers too. Always check reputation, age, and warnings before you trust or pay.
The web site looks professional but it's new. Do I trust it?
Be wary. New domains and high expectations are lethal. Check for a real address, phone, consistent branding, and unbiased reviews, not just testimonials.
If the result is "Caution" or "Suspicious", what do I do?
Do not pay or input data. Search brand + "reviews" or "scam," ask for proof of validity, and first obtain a more detailed Due Diligence report.
Is it safe to scan a site from my phone?
Yes. We only examine public signals. We don't execute page scripts on your device.
