More than an AI guess
Scam verification often depends on evidence outside the words in the email. LooksIffy checks technical and contextual signals before giving you a recommendation.
- Who really sent it?
- Sender authentication, whether the sending domain is authorized, and whether the display name points somewhere other than the address behind it.
- Where do the links really go?
- Shorteners, redirect chains, and the domain a link actually lands on.
- What does the page ask you for?
- Login forms, payment forms, and forms that quietly submit somewhere other than the site you are looking at.
- What couldn't be checked?
- Missing evidence is not treated as reassuring evidence.
A clear answer without pretending certainty
- Don't Trust This Email
- This Looks Iffy
- No Warning Signs Found
- Couldn't Fully Check
LooksIffy never calls an email "safe" just because it didn't find a problem.

Why not just ask an AI chatbot?
AI can help understand what a suspicious email is saying. But scam verification often depends on evidence the message itself does not reveal.
- sender authentication — SPF, DKIM, DMARC and alignment
- where links actually redirect, and where they finally land
- what the destination page asks the visitor to do
- whether a display name points somewhere other than the address behind it
LooksIffy checks technical evidence instead of asking AI to guess from the email alone.
