Email scam check: real message or fraud?
Review an unexpected invoice, account warning or job offer before replying. Submit the sender address or message to get an explained assessment of scam warning signs.
How it works
- Copy the sender address or the full email including links.
- Paste it into the email checker and start the free scan.
- Read the verdict, the warning signals and the recommended next step.
What to review
Sender details
Compare the full sender address with the organisation’s known domain.
Unexpected requests
Unexpected invoices, account warnings and requests for codes or payment need verification.
Message links
Check unfamiliar links separately before opening a login or payment page.
What the result can tell you
Use the explanation to guide your next step. A content check cannot authenticate the sender of an email.
Frequently asked questions
- How can I check whether an email is suspicious?
- Inspect the full sender address, compare link destinations with the official website and verify unexpected requests through an independently known contact channel.
- Does an email content check prove who sent it?
- No. Pasted message text cannot establish sender authenticity. Use the result as guidance and verify important requests independently.
- What happens to an email I submit?
- The content you submit is processed on our backend. Signed-in checks can be saved in scan history and deleted there. Never submit passwords, verification codes, full card numbers or recovery phrases. See our privacy policy for processing and retention details.
- Can I try ScamsShield without paying?
- Online checks require an account. A free account includes checks within the displayed limits. The free desktop extension offers local checks without an account. Paid website plans and the paid extension plan are separate; the Bundle includes both. See Pricing for current quotas and billing terms.
