Is my scanned email kept private?

Yes. We check the scam, not you. Your email content is analyzed securely and automatically scrubbed of personal information before retention to improve our detection.

Can it detect spoofed email addresses?

Absolutely. Our AI analyzes the underlying domain reputation and routing data to spot when a sender is faking their identity.

What should I do if the scanner flags an email?

Do not click any links, open attachments, or reply. Delete the email and log into your account directly from your browser if you need to verify a claim.

Does this work for non-English emails?

Yes, our system can detect manipulative language and urgency signals across multiple languages.

Protect yourself from malicious emails

Scammers use sophisticated branding and urgent language to bypass your natural skepticism. Always check for these critical warning signs before interacting.

The email creates urgency or fear

Spam and phishing emails often push immediate action with warnings about account closure, failed payments, or security threats.

The sender does not match the claim

If the message says it is from a known company, bank, courier, or support team but the sender address looks unrelated, treat it as suspicious.

The message asks you to click or download fast

Risk jumps when a message asks for credentials, card details, or attachment downloads before giving you time to verify.

The language feels generic, odd, or inconsistent

Poor grammar, unnatural formatting, and mismatched brand tone are common in large-volume spam campaigns.

What IsThisSpam checks before you trust a sender

Quick verdicts are useful, but the real value is understanding why something looks safe, uncertain, or risky.

Sender-identity mismatch

We look for gaps between the claimed identity and the actual mailbox, including suspicious free-email usage for business-critical requests.

Phishing-style call to action

Messages that demand a quick login, payment correction, or urgent verification are high-risk patterns even when they look polished.

Link and destination risk clues

Hidden redirects, unusual domains, and lookalike brand links are major indicators that the email should not be trusted.

Context across the full message

A sender alone is rarely enough. The wording, request type, and timing usually provide the strongest spam and scam evidence.
