Questions people ask
How do I know if a website is legit?
Paste the address above. LegitInformant checks how old the domain is, who registered it, whether it copies a famous brand, its SSL certificate, email setup, hosting, payment methods, contact details, policies, scam blocklists and reports from other people — then explains every point in plain English.
Is LegitInformant free?
Yes. Every consumer tool is free. Businesses pay for brand-impersonation monitoring, the Verified Business badge and the Trust API.
Can a site with a padlock still be a scam?
Yes. The padlock (SSL) only means your connection is encrypted. Most phishing sites have one. That is why we look at dozens of other signals.
What should I do if I already paid a scam site?
Act fast. Use our Scam Recovery Planner: it gives step-by-step instructions for your payment method and country, the official places to report, and a dispute letter you can send today.
Do you store the messages I paste?
No. Text and email checks run in memory and are discarded. We only count which scam types were detected, anonymously, for our public scam trends page.
