How it works

It looks for combinations, not one magic signal

HTTPS, a registered company or an established profile cannot prove safety on their own. The quick check combines identity, payment, domain, conversation and urgency signals.

A full VerifyBeforeBuy check can also compare a specific URL, screenshot, conversation or document with available public sources and explain each finding.

Frequently asked questions

What the result means

Does a low result prove that a transaction is safe?

No. This is an initial triage of visible warning signs. A low result does not replace checking identity, payment details, the domain and the wider context.

Are my answers stored or sent anywhere?

Individual answers and offer details stay in your browser. We measure only the selected scenario, language and resulting risk band to improve the service.

What should I do after a high-risk result?

Stop the payment and do not enter more information. Verify the other party through an independent channel and run a full evidence check before continuing.
