What is Check a Website?
Check a website is an easy-to-use online tool which helps you to determine whether a website is likely to be legitimate or a scam … before you visit it.
It cleverly uses an algorithm to provide a trust score based on more than 40 data sources as well as thousands of reports of malicious websites from law enforcement agencies, regulators and consumer brands every week.
The tool was originally devised in 2012 and has been the subject of continuous improvement by the ScamAdviser technical team ever since.
