How it works

From a link to a confident decision in seconds

No jargon, no guesswork you can't inspect. Every report shows its work.

Step 1

Submit a target

A website, a seller name, an @handle, or where you were asked to send money. Add optional context — how you were contacted and how you plan to pay.

Step 2

We gather the signals

ProofPay checks the domain registry, the live site, its policies and presence, and structural red flags — labeling every signal as a fact, an observation, or an inference.

Step 3

You get a clear verdict

A transparent score, the evidence behind it, and a cautious Proceed / Caution / Avoid recommendation with concrete, safer next steps.

What we check

Five categories of signal — all free-tier, all inspectable

Each category rolls into the score by weight, and each individual signal shows its evidence and where it came from.

Identity & Registration

How long the domain has really existed, from the registry (RDAP) — a hard, verifiable fact that new scam sites can’t fake.

Website Security

Whether the connection is encrypted (HTTPS), plus security headers that established sites usually set.

Transparency & Contact

Whether the seller publishes the contact routes, refund and privacy policies a legitimate business normally provides.

Reputation & Presence

Public presence markers — linked social profiles, a known commerce platform — that corroborate a real, operating business.

Risk Indicators

Brand-lookalike names, punycode tricks, lure wording, and the classic scam patterns you tell us about (gift cards, urgency, wire transfers).

Unavailable checks are labeled — never faked

If a signal can't be gathered, we say so plainly and lower our confidence. We never invent evidence to fill a gap.

Honest by design

We never cry “scam.” We show you the evidence.

A wrong accusation is as harmful as a missed warning. ProofPay separates what it verified from what it inferred, so you stay in control of the judgement.

  • Facts vs. inference, always labeled

    Every signal is tagged so a registry fact never masquerades as an AI guess.

  • Evidence you can open

    Scores are built from signals, and each signal carries the raw evidence and its source.

  • Cautious by default

    Strong risk patterns can cap a verdict, but a single self-reported detail never triggers a false accusation.
