Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is ScamCheck?
+ScamCheck uses advanced AI and multiple databases to analyze URLs. While highly accurate, it's not 100% perfect. Always use your judgment and verify suspicious links through official channels.
What makes a URL suspicious?
+We check for domain age, SSL certificates, known phishing patterns, suspicious redirects, lookalike domains, and compare against databases of known scam sites. URLs mimicking popular brands or using urgent language are often flagged.
Is my data safe when I check URLs?
+Yes! We only analyze the URL itself - we don't store personal information, passwords, or track your browsing. The URL checking is done securely and anonymously.
What should I do if a link is marked as high risk?
+Don't click it! If you received it via email/text, verify with the sender through a different channel. If it claims to be from a service you use, visit their official website directly instead.
Can ScamCheck detect all types of scams?
+ScamCheck is excellent at detecting phishing sites, fake stores, and common scam patterns. However, scammers constantly evolve their tactics. Always stay vigilant and trust your instincts.
