Frequently asked questions

How can I tell if a website is legit?

Look for a real business address, verified contact details, a domain older than a few months, consistent branding, real reviews on third-party sites, and HTTPS. ScamGuard automates all of these checks for you.

How does ScamGuard decide if a site is legit?

Our AI inspects the domain's age and registration, reputation signals, on-page content, brand impersonation patterns, link structure, and known scam databases — then returns a clear verdict.

Is checking a website safe to do?

Yes. ScamGuard analyzes the site server-side, so you never visit a suspicious page in your own browser.

What does it mean if a site is flagged as not legit?

It means we found one or more strong scam indicators — for example a brand-new domain, a fake-shop pattern, a phishing login form, or known scam reports. Don't enter personal info or pay until you've verified through another channel.

Is it really free?

Yes — you get 3 free checks with no signup. After that, affordable credit packs unlock unlimited checks.
