IS THIS SITE
REAL, OR
A SCAM?
Paste a website address and TrustSniffer checks it for you: domain history, hosting, reputation lists, page behaviour and on-page red flags, combined into a 0–100 trust score and a plain-English verdict. Three checks a day are free with no account. It is an evidence check, not a malware scan, and a site that blocks the check is marked for review rather than guessed at.
From a link to a clear answer in 3 steps
1. Paste the link
Submit a publicly reachable website. Collection begins when the target can be reached; blocked, challenged, or unavailable targets may require additional review.
2. We run the checks
TrustSniffer applies the checks supported by the evidence collected for that target, including available page, infrastructure, history, and reputation signals.
3. You get a clear answer
We put it all together into one simple verdict — safe, risky, or somewhere in between — with the reasons spelled out in plain English.
Signal families we apply when evidence is available
TrustSniffer applies the checks supported by the evidence collected for a target. Blocked, challenged, timed-out, or incomplete captures may use fewer signals or require additional review.
How the page behaves
We open the live page and look for fake login forms out to steal your details, sneaky pop-ups, and brands being copied.
Where it's hosted
We check where and when the site was set up. A brand-new site on shady hosting is a classic scam sign.
Its track record
We look at the site's history. One that appeared out of nowhere yesterday, with no past, is worth a second look.
How it treats you
Does it make it hard to withdraw your money, or rush you with countdown timers? Those pressure tricks are red flags.
Its crypto claims
If a site brags about big crypto backing, we check the blockchain to see whether that's actually true — or just talk.
Its community
We check whether the fans and reviews look real — or like bought, fake hype cooked up to seem trustworthy.

step by step.
Nothing happens in a black box. As we check a site, you can watch each step happen live — looking up the domain, checking the security, reading the page — and see exactly what we find along the way.
- Every step shown as it happens
- Collected warning signals shown in the assessment
- Nothing hidden — you see how we got there
Not just a number.
A real answer.
We don't just average up the checks. Serious red flags count for more than small ones, so the final answer reflects how risky a site really is — not a random-looking number.
- ✓ Every answer shows its reasons — you see exactly which red flags drove it.
- ✓ We check the site as it is right now — not an old, out-of-date snapshot.
- ✓ You can save or share the full result as a clean report — handy if you need to show someone.
The Trust Verdict Band
When sufficient evidence is collected, the assessment uses one of the supported trust bands and explains the available signals. Incomplete capture can require additional review.
Signals consistent with an established, legitimately operated site.
Most signals reassuring, at least one unverified or cautionary.
Several patterns typical of risky or unverified sites.
Evidence matched patterns associated with scams or fraud.
A fifth outcome sits outside the scale: when a site blocks automated access or returns too little content to judge, the assessment is graded NEEDS REVIEW rather than given a score, so a temporarily unavailable but legitimate site is never labelled a scam. Crypto wallets use a separate scale entirely: CLEAR, CAUTION, WARN, DANGER, BLOCK. Full definitions on the methodology and coverage pages.
