Email Scam & Phishing FAQ
How can I tell if an email is a phishing scam?
Paste the email above — subject line, sender, and body — and we'll analyze it. Red flags include: urgency (“your account will be closed in 24 hours”), sender addresses that don't match the company domain, hover-mismatched links, requests for passwords or MFA codes, and generic greetings like “Dear customer” from companies that know your name.
Why doesn't my spam filter catch phishing emails?
Spam filters are built for bulk junk mail. Modern phishing is targeted — scammers send from freshly registered domains, personalize the email to you, and write in normal-sounding English. Filters are getting better, but the smartest phishing often lands in the regular inbox. That's why a second-opinion check matters.
What should I do if I clicked a phishing link?
If you only clicked (and didn't enter anything), close the tab and you're likely fine. If you entered a password, change it immediately on that site and anywhere else you used it, and turn on two-factor authentication. If you entered credit card or bank info, call your bank's fraud line. If you downloaded an attachment, run a virus scan.
Can you tell if an email is really from a bank?
We'll flag the common signs of a spoofed bank email — mismatched sender domain, suspicious links, urgency language, unusual requests. But the safest rule: if you get an unexpected email from your bank, don't click anything in it. Open a new tab, type the bank's website yourself, and log in that way. Or call the number on the back of your card.
Is this email checker safe? Where does my data go?
Yes. The text you paste is sent to our AI analysis engine, used only to generate the verdict, and not stored or sold. You don't need to include personal info — just copy the suspicious content. Don't paste passwords, credit card numbers, or SSNs (you wouldn't need to for a scam check anyway).
