Frequently asked questions

How does a website legit checker work?

ScamGuard inspects the domain registration, page content, link reputation and known scam databases — then returns a clear legit-or-scam verdict with the red flags listed.

What's the fastest way to spot a fake site?

Check the domain age (younger than a few months is risky), look for a real address and phone, and search 'brand name + scam' or 'reviews' before paying.

Does it work on brand-new scam sites?

Yes. ScamGuard's AI catches scam patterns — copied templates, stolen photos, suspicious checkout flows — even before a site appears on any blocklist.

What should I do if a site is flagged?

Don't pay, don't enter personal info, and don't reuse any password from that site. Report it to your bank if you already entered card details.

Is it free?

Yes — 3 free checks, no signup.
