How Our AI Scam Detector Works

NetArmature analyzes multiple risk signals to detect phishing, fake websites, suspicious links, fake job offers, rental scams and other online threats. Instead of relying on a single rule, our AI evaluates different indicators together to estimate the likelihood of fraud.

🕒 Domain age

Scam sites are usually registered days or weeks before they're used, then abandoned. A very young domain is one of the strongest phishing signals there is.

🔀 Redirect chains

Phishing links often hop through several unrelated domains before landing on the real destination, hiding what you're actually about to visit.

🏷️ Brand impersonation

Domains that closely mimic a well-known brand (typosquatting) or embed a brand name as a fake prefix are a classic phishing pattern.

🏗️ Hosting patterns

Free hosting platforms, link shorteners, and dynamic DNS services are disproportionately used by scam pages compared to legitimate businesses.

📝 Page content

For borderline cases, NetArmature looks at the actual destination page — contact info, social presence, urgency language — to help decide.

🔗 URL structure

Long, oddly-structured URLs, suspicious subdomains and known scam keywords ("verify," "urgent," "prize") all factor into the score.
