How this checker works

The checker looks for wording and patterns that often appear in scams — such as urgency, threats, requests for payment, gift cards, codes, or suspicious links. A higher risk level means more of these patterns were found. It is a starting point for caution, not a verdict. Always verify unexpected requests through official channels. Read how we review scams.

When in doubt, contact the official organisation directly and report concerns to your local authorities.
