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
