Check a suspicious email before you reply.
Paste the email text, sender address, or both to look for scam, phishing, impersonation, and sender-risk signals before you click, pay, or respond.
Security Insight
A sender address is useful evidence, but it is not a verdict by itself. The safest check combines the address, the message context, the requested action, and any links or attachments.
When to use a fake email checker
A convincing display name or familiar logo does not prove that an email is genuine. Check the sender and the message together before taking the action it asks for.
The message looks official, but the sender address does not
A personal address is asking for payment or urgency
A custom domain looks professional, but you do not know it
The email asks you to click, open, pay, or share information
What a fake email checker can and cannot tell you
Quick verdicts are useful, but the real value is understanding why something looks safe, uncertain, or risky.
Free-email vs business-domain context
A free mailbox is not automatically malicious, but it should raise the bar when the sender claims to represent billing, support, hiring, compliance, or legal teams.
Domain age and reputation
New or lightly established domains deserve more caution than well-established domains with a clean reputation history.
Address syntax and domain clues
Typos, unusual domains, misleading subdomains, and mismatches between the sender and the claimed organisation can make an email look like an impersonation attempt.
Message intent, not just sender format
Urgency, payment pressure, credential requests, and fake support workflows matter just as much as the mailbox itself.
