How to tell if a website is fake?

Online shops that vanish after payment, pages imitating banks and deals that look too good are common. It isn't always easy to tell a legitimate website from a fraud just by looking.

How we can help

  • We check domain registration data, site age and public history.
  • We review certificates, hosting and similarities to known brands (phishing).
  • We look for public mentions, complaints and related sites sharing the same setup.
  • You receive a clear report with preserved evidence, useful for reporting or legal action.

Service limitations

  • It is not always possible to identify who is behind a website.
  • We only use publicly accessible information and lawful methods.
