What we check

05 signals
01

Domain age & registration

Newly registered domains, suspicious registrars, and hidden WHOIS data are classic scam signals we flag immediately.

02

Impersonation detection

Lookalike domains, typosquatted brand names, and copycat layouts designed to mimic trusted companies.

03

Fake-store patterns

Unrealistic discounts, missing contact info, scraped product images, and other hallmarks of fraudulent e-commerce.

04

Phishing markers

Credential harvest forms, suspicious redirects, and social-engineering tells buried in the page content.

05

Payment red flags

Crypto-only payments, sketchy gateways, and checkout flows designed to take your money and disappear.
