No link handy?

'Is this site legit?' is the right question to ask before you trust a website with your money or details. Paste the address and we'll answer it with a 0–100 risk score and a plain-English verdict, free and instantly.

We check the same five signals that separate a legit site from a scam — domain, impersonation, fake-store patterns, phishing and payment red flags — so you get a real answer, not just a number.

The free verdict is enough for most quick checks. For every red flag explained and a step-by-step plan, the full report is a one-time $4.99.

What this checker looks at

Every scan weighs the five signals that separate a safe site from a scam.

✓Domain age & registration

Brand-new domains registered days ago are a classic scam tell. We read the registration record and weigh it with everything else.

✓Brand impersonation signals

Lookalike names, copied logos and spoofed checkout pages that pretend to be a trusted store or bank.

✓Fake-store patterns

Too-good-to-be-true pricing, stolen product photos, missing contact details and the other hallmarks of a store that never ships.

✓Phishing markers

Urgent 'verify your account' language, mismatched links and login pages designed to harvest your password.

✓Payment red flags

Pressure to pay by wire, gift card or crypto, and checkout flows that quietly skip the protections a real store would offer.
