How LEGITIMAE works
Your second opinion before you click, pay, or trust.
When a message, website, or unexpected request makes you pause, LEGITIMAE helps you examine the warning signs and understand what deserves a closer look.
6 free checks with a free account. No credit card required.
A message that makes you pause
“Your delivery is on hold…”
An unexpected fee. A rushed deadline. Something feels off.
LEGITIMAE assessment
Warning signs · context · practical next steps
Clearer understanding
Know what to question before acting.
Illustrative journey — not a live assessment.
From pause to perspective
Clarity in three simple steps.
Share what made you pause.
Submit suspicious text, screenshots, website addresses, or supported QR code content.
We examine the warning signs.
LEGITIMAE assesses suspicious behavior, available context, and applicable independent reference information.
Understand your results.
Get a Risk Score when evidence is sufficient, plain-English explanations, FIR pattern context where applicable, and practical next steps.
Four ways to begin
Check it your way.
A message that makes you pause
Paste suspicious texts, emails, offers, or payment requests.
Try it on the Check pageYour delivery is on hold. Pay a redelivery fee within 30 minutes.

What happens during analysis
A closer look, without opening the suspicious link.
- 1
Examine the information you submit.
- 2
Identify relevant behavioral warning signs.
- 3
Consult applicable independent reference information.
- 4
Calculate an informational Risk Score when evidence is sufficient.
- 5
Compare observed patterns through FIR™ (Fraud Intelligence Registry).
- 6
Present explanations and practical next steps.
Public discovery
Information found in public records or reference sources. Search results alone do not establish identity, ownership, authority, endorsement, or safety.
Verification
Independent evidence establishing a specific fact or claim. A discovered reference is not automatically verified evidence.
SEARCH DISCOVERS. VERIFICATION ESTABLISHES.
LEGITIMAE does not open or contact submitted suspicious destination URLs. Independent reference lookups are separate; this is not comprehensive malware scanning.
A signal, not a certainty
Understanding your Risk Score.
Risk Score v3 reflects identified risk signals and available evidence. It is not a mathematical probability of fraud.
Illustrative examples — not a live assessment.
Pause and take a closer look
The available evidence raises meaningful concerns. Check the request independently before taking action.
Example warning signs
An unexpected payment request, a rushed deadline, or inconsistent details.
Your next step
Use channels you already trust, not contact details or destinations supplied in the message.
AI analysis can be incomplete or inaccurate. If information is insufficient, the result may be inconclusive without a numerical Risk Score. A low score does not guarantee safety; a high score is not legal proof of fraud.
A LEGITIMAE Technology
FIR™
Meet FIR™ — Fraud Intelligence Registry.
Scam tactics often follow recognizable patterns, even when the wording or presentation changes.
FIR compares observed behavior against documented scam patterns to provide additional context alongside the main assessment. The current catalog contains 15 curated reference patterns.

Observed warning signs
- 2
FIR pattern comparison
- 3
Documented scam pattern resemblance
Additional context and protective guidance

Educational examples, not matching results.
Common tactic
An unexpected delivery message asks for a fee or details.
Illustrative warning signs
A small redelivery fee, a short deadline, and an unfamiliar destination.
What FIR compares
Delivery context together with payment or information requests and supporting warning signs.
What remains uncertain
Whether a package exists, a fee is required, or the sender is the actual carrier.
FIR™ adds context. It never changes your Risk Score.
FIR runs after scoring. A pattern match is resemblance, not proof. No match does not establish safety.
FIR does not verify sender identity and is not a separate company or certification authority.
Government advisories describe source material, not endorsement, certification, or partnership with LEGITIMAE.

Delivery-fee sample
This sample message shows several strong signs of a delivery-fee scam. It creates urgency, asks for a small payment, and points to an unofficial website that may be designed to collect card or personal information.
