What ScamWatcher checks
The service focuses on visible, practical warning signs that people can understand without needing technical knowledge.
Sender and identity

- Whether the email address looks unusual or inconsistent
- Whether the sender identity appears difficult to verify
Message context
- Unexpected requests for action, payment, or sensitive information
- Pressure, urgency, or emotionally manipulative wording
- Requests that feel out of normal process
Links and destinations
- Whether domains and links align with the stated organisation
- Whether the destination appears unrelated or suspicious
- Whether the message includes links, files, or digital cues that deserve caution
