Example report
Email checked:
From: noreply@paypa1-secure.com
Subject: Your account has been limited — verify now
🚨 Likely Scam
Confidence: 97%
This email is pretending to be from PayPal but it's not. The sender uses "paypa1" (number one) instead of "paypal" — a common trick. Do not click any links. Log in directly through paypal.com instead.
Why we flagged this:
The domain "paypa1-secure.com" impersonates PayPal using character substitution
Creates false urgency with threats of account limitation
🔒 Analysed by AI, not read by humans
🗑️ Deleted after 90 days

What we check
Every email is run through 20+ signals across 7 categories before you get your report.
🛡️
Sender authentication
We verify SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records to confirm the email really came from who it claims.
🌐
Domain verification
We check DNS records, MX configuration, and domain registration age. Brand-new domains are a red flag.
⚠️
Urgency & pressure
We scan for threatening language like "account suspended" or "act within 24 hours" — common scam tactics.
🔗
Suspicious links
We detect lookalike domains, IP-based URLs, and links that don't match the claimed sender.
🚨
Google Safe Browsing
Every link is checked against Google's database of known phishing and malware sites.
🧠
AI content analysis
Our AI reads the full email in context — catching subtle social engineering that rules alone would miss.
Built by a real person
Not a faceless corporation. A founder you can look up.
I built Don't Click because my parents kept asking me to check their emails. They'd forward me something from "HMRC" or "PayPal" and I'd spend five minutes explaining why it was (or wasn't) a scam. I thought — what if anyone could get that answer instantly, in plain English, without needing a tech-savvy relative? That's what this is.
"I nearly fell for a fake Amazon delivery email. The report showed me exactly why it was suspicious — the link went to a completely different website."
Rachel K.

"A British Gas 'final warning' email had me panicking. Forwarded it, got the all-clear in 30 seconds. Turns out it was real — just poorly worded!"
Tom H.

"My dad keeps getting Bank of America 'security alerts'. Now he just forwards them instead of calling me in a panic. It's given him his confidence back."
