How Fraudly works

How Fraudly works

Fraudly is a website and webshop scam checker for anyone about to click, log in, or pay on an unfamiliar site.

Paste a URL to start a structured check. Fraudly combines technical signals, scam intelligence, reputation context, and plain-language explanation so you can see whether a site looks safe, suspicious, or risky.

Results are guidance to use before you share personal details, log in, or pay—not a substitute for your own judgment or official verification.

How Fraudly works

What Fraudly checks

Fraudly combines technical, reputation, and fraud signals—not only domain age. When public data is available, checks may include:

  • Phishing pages, malware feeds, and curated scam intelligence
  • Fake webshop, brand impersonation, and unofficial seller patterns
  • HTTPS, DNS, hosting, and domain registration context
  • Contact, return, fulfillment, and shopping-confidence cues
  • Discount urgency, social-ad patterns, and possible dropshipping indicators

How the trust score works

The trust score is a risk indication from the signals Fraudly could reach at scan time. It can change when new information appears.

  • Multiple layers are weighed together—not one indicator alone
  • A higher score does not guarantee safety; a lower score does not automatically prove fraud
  • Technical safety can differ from shopping confidence for online stores

What the result means

You get a clear headline, trust-style score, and plain-language detail—so you can decide whether to proceed, pause, or verify through official channels.

What Fraudly cannot guarantee

Fraudly is a helpful safety tool—not a substitute for banks, police, consumer organizations, or legal advice.

  • New scams may not yet appear in public feeds
  • Sophisticated sites can copy legitimate brands
  • Some new legitimate businesses have limited public reputation

Why it helps before paying or logging in

An extra check can surface red flags early—before passwords, payment details, or personal data leave your hands.

  • Offers that seem too good to be true
  • Pressure to pay quickly or use bank transfer or crypto only
  • Poor contact details, new domains, or unexpected delivery links

    Technical signals

    Includes TLS posture and registration timing. Coverage depends on what is publicly reachable at scan time.

  3. 03

    Scam & phishing intelligence

    The URL is checked against curated scam alerts and known phishing patterns when matching data exists.

    Intelligence feeds

    A clean match does not guarantee safety—gaps in public data can exist.

  4. 04

    Reputation & historical signals

    Public reputation hints and prior Fraudly activity add context when available.

    Extra context

    Review-style reputation and anonymized public check history can surface repeat patterns—not personal scan data.

  5. 05

    AI-assisted explanation

    Plain-language guidance summarizes what we found—not a chatbot guessing on its own.

    How AI is used

    AI narrates patterns already detected by structured checks. It does not replace technical or intelligence layers.

    Trust & risk verdict

    You get a clear score, headline takeaway, and optional detail before you decide.

  • Historical Fraudly intelligence

    Prior public checks help spot repeat infrastructure and trending scam hosts.

    Learn more

    Historical context: Anonymized public check history can reveal patterns across domains. Private history stays private.

    Recently checked URLs may load faster while fresh signals continue updating.

    About cached results: Non-sensitive results may appear instantly from a privacy-safe cache; background updates can refine the readout.

Fraudly does not rely on AI alone.

Fraudly supports judgment—it does not replace it

Fraudly is designed to support safer online decisions by highlighting trustworthy and risky patterns—not by promising certainty. Combine the readout with your own instincts and official contacts whenever money or sensitive data is involved.

Fraudly does not rely on AI alone.
