We never store the email you paste. It is checked against known scam patterns and sent to Anthropic's API for a second read, then discarded. Five free checks a day.

Guidance, not a guarantee. The checker reads only the text you paste. It cannot confirm who really sent an email, and scams change. When money or logins are involved, verify the brand through its official website.

Six signs of a fake sponsorship

The checker looks for all of these. You can too.

  • They want money first

    Activation fees, shipping costs, deposits or "buy the product and we refund you". Real sponsors pay you.

  • They want to leave email

    Telegram, WhatsApp or a "manager" on Discord. It removes the paper trail.

  • The domain is almost right

    A brand name with "-partners" bolted on, a zero where an o should be, or a brand on a Gmail address. Brands write from their own domain.

  • They want you to download something

    A "game build", an app to test or a password-protected contract is how channels get stolen.

  • They ask you to log in or verify

    No sponsor needs your password, a login code or your ID to start a deal.

  • It is urgent and generous

    "$5,000 for one post, reply within 24 hours." Pressure plus a huge number is bait.
