Frequently Asked Questions

ScamOrLegit.ai is a free website scam detector that helps you quickly check if a site is safe, trustworthy, or potentially fraudulent. With online fraud on the rise — and many unreliable "scam checkers" out there — our advanced website safety checker goes further by combining AI and machine learning to answer "is this website a scam?" with greater accuracy. We analyse key website information, often detecting ownership through complex network matching, and apply reputational and sentiment analysis on online feedback to help you verify if a website is legitimate.

When you check if a site is safe, our system examines multiple security and trust factors:

• Domain registration details and age verification
• Server location and hosting information analysis
• Website technology detection and fingerprinting
• Real-time sentiment analysis to detect scam patterns
• Website content and reputation scoring
• Community feedback and user safety ratings
• Blacklist and threat database cross-checking

Yes, you can check if a website is safe completely free with ScamOrLegit.ai. Our website scam detector is available to everyone who wants to verify website legitimacy. We also provide professional features for businesses that need advanced scam detection capabilities and API access to check multiple sites.

Our trust scores have a 99.7% accuracy rate based on comprehensive analysis of multiple security factors. When you're wondering "is this website a scam?", our website scam detector provides reliable guidance. However, we always recommend using your own judgment alongside our analysis when making decisions about website trustworthiness.

Trust scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating more trustworthy websites:

• 80-100: Highly trustworthy - Safe to use
• 60-79: Generally trustworthy - Exercise normal caution
• 40-59: Moderate risk - Proceed with caution
• 0-39: High risk - Avoid or investigate further

Several factors can affect a legitimate website's score: new domain registration, missing SSL certificate, limited online presence, unusual hosting configuration, or recent security issues. Before you check if a site is safe, understanding these factors helps interpret our website safety checker results. We continuously improve our algorithms to minimize false positives.

Analysis time varies based on website response speed, the amount of data to process, and current system load. Most analyses complete within 5-15 seconds, though complex websites may take longer.
