Is that email real?

Forward it to us and get a plain-English verdict in about a minute. We tell you whether to click or close, and why.

scan@inbox.mailarrive.com

Forward the message as-is. We read the one you send us, never your inbox.

How it works
Three steps, no signup
1Forward the email

Send the suspicious message to scan@inbox.mailarrive.com from the address you want the answer sent back to.

2We read it, not your inbox

We check who really sent it, where its links actually go, and whether it is impersonating someone. Anything you wrote when forwarding is ignored.

3You get a straight answer

A reply lands in about a minute, in plain English, with the reasons laid out so you can judge it yourself.

The verdict
Click, Caution, or Close

No score out of a hundred to interpret. One of three answers, and the reasons behind it.

Click — this one looks genuine Caution — treat this one carefully Close — do not trust this email
