Quick answer
Phishing emails impersonate trusted brands to steal your login credentials or payment details. The key tell is always the sender's actual email domain and the destination of any links — not the logos or branding.
What Our Tool Checks
- Sender email domain vs. the brand it claims to be
- Link destinations (hover, do not click)
- Urgency language and account threat framing
- Requests for credentials, payment, or personal information
- Generic vs. personalised greeting
Common Warning Signs
- Sender email is on a free domain (gmail, yahoo, outlook) claiming to be a bank or brand
- Link in email goes to a different domain than the sender
- 'Dear User' or 'Dear Account Holder' — no name
- Requests you to verify, confirm, or update your account immediately
- Unexpected invoice or payment confirmation you did not initiate
What Not to Submit
To protect your privacy, never paste these into any tool — and never submit passwords, OTPs, card numbers, bank logins, or private IDs.
- Your email password or any account passwords
- OTP or verification codes received separately
- Full card or bank account details
What to Do If Something Looks Suspicious
- Check the actual sender address (not just the display name)
- Hover over any links without clicking to see the real URL
- Report phishing to the brand at their official security email
- If you clicked and entered data — change the password immediately and enable 2FA
