FakeOrLegit is the fastest way to check whether a website, email, or text message is a scam right from your browser.

Paste a suspicious URL into the pop-up, or right-click any link or selected text on a page, and get back a plain-English risk report in seconds. You see the risk score (0-100), the risk level (Low / Medium / High / Critical), the specific red flags we detected, and a link to the full report on fakeorlegit.io.

Built for everyday people. No technical jargon, no setup, no account required.

WHAT IT CHECKS

Websites:
- Suspicious top-level domains (.shop, .xyz, .top, .click, etc. that get heavily abused)
- Brand impersonation patterns common to major payment processors, online retailers, shipping carriers, banks, and government agencies
- Urgency words inside hostnames ("secure", "verify", "login", "account")
- Punycode / non-ASCII characters that imitate Latin letters
- Hostname length, hyphen patterns, subdomain depth
- HTTPS configuration

Emails and text messages:
- Pressure and urgency language
- Requests for passwords, codes, or sensitive identifiers
- Requests for gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency
- Links to look-alike domains
- Phone numbers used in call-back scams
- Brand mentions common in impersonation campaigns

The heuristic checks run instantly. A cost-controlled AI model adds the plain-English explanation. Results for URLs are cached for 7 days at the hostname level so repeat checks are free and fast.
