Our mission is to protect everyone from online scams, phishing, and fraud — regardless of language, location, or technical expertise.
IsThisAScam uses a multi-layered detection engine that combines threat intelligence databases, domain analysis, email authentication verification, and advanced AI to analyze suspicious content. Each scan runs through 6 independent detection layers, and the results are synthesized into a single, easy-to-understand verdict.
We take your privacy seriously. Scanned content is analyzed in real-time and is not stored permanently. We do not require an account to use the free tier. IP addresses are used only for rate limiting and are not linked to scan results.
Our detection methodology is transparent. Every scan result shows exactly which layers flagged the content and why, so you can make informed decisions.
Every verdict comes from a six-layer detection engine that combines threat-intelligence blocklists, public domain registration records, live SSL inspection, email authentication, AI content analysis, and a community scam-pattern database. On our 157-case labeled benchmark the engine caught 100% of scams with 96.8% verdict-band accuracy. Full details, data sources, and known limitations are documented on our methodology page.
Guides and scam alerts are written by the IsThisAScam Research Team, based on patterns seen in real scans and advisories from the FTC, FBI IC3, and national consumer-protection agencies. Every article shows its publication date. We do not accept payment for coverage, and no brand can influence a verdict or a domain trust report.
What we are not: a substitute for your own judgment. Automated analysis is a strong signal, not a guarantee — when a verdict and your instincts disagree, slow down and verify independently.
