# A scam checker for the clues you actually have.

> Scams arrive in more than one format. LEGITTAP gives you one place to check a suspicious message, phone number, website link, or screenshot, then explains the evidence it found and what still needs independent verification.

## What LEGITTAP checks

Message scans look for social-engineering patterns, payment pressure, credential theft, job and reshipping scam signals, and other fraud clues. Phone checks evaluate supported number intelligence without pretending caller ID proves identity. Link checks inspect URL structure and configured threat intelligence. Screenshot checks analyze visible content in an image.

## What a result means

LEGITTAP separates risk signals, reassuring evidence, uncertainty, and recommended next steps. A low-risk result is not a guarantee that something is legitimate, and a high-risk result is not a legal finding of fraud.

## Why independent verification still matters

Scammers can spoof caller ID, copy logos, register look-alike domains, and write convincing messages. For important requests, use contact information you find independently on an official website, statement, app, or card rather than information supplied in the suspicious message.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can LEGITTAP prove a message is safe?

No. LEGITTAP provides decision support based on the evidence available to the scan. Important requests should still be independently verified.

### Can I use it without installing an app?

Yes. The LEGITTAP website includes browser-based checks for messages, phone numbers, links, and screenshots.

### Does it keep my full suspicious message forever?

The system is designed to keep privacy-safe scan history rather than preserving the full original message, full URL, or raw screenshot.


## Use the result as evidence, not a verdict

A useful scam check turns a vague feeling into specific questions you can verify. If a result highlights urgency, unusual payment methods, a new domain, a mismatch between the claimed brand and contact details, or a suspicious job pattern, verify those facts through an independent channel before acting. If the scan finds little evidence, keep the same standard for high-stakes requests: contact the organization through its official website or app, confirm account activity directly, and avoid sharing credentials or security codes. Scam tactics change quickly, so the safest workflow combines automated signals with human verification rather than relying on either one alone.
