Suspicious link
A website address, URL, QR code or link you are unsure about before opening, signing in, downloading or making a payment.
Open →VERIFY
Before you click. Before you pay. Before you trust.
Something suspicious happened and you are not sure what to do? Start here. You do not need to know the cybersecurity term for what you are seeing. Tell us what happened and we will help you find the safest next step.
Start with the situation—not the cybersecurity jargon.
Suspicious messages, fake websites, payment requests, account alerts and impersonation attempts do not always look dangerous. They may use familiar names, convincing logos, urgent language or professional-looking documents.
Choose the situation that comes closest to what you are dealing with. The platform will guide you toward the most appropriate verification, learning or response workflow.
What happens after I choose?
Depending on the situation, you may be asked for additional information such as a message, link, description or other relevant details. The goal is not simply to label something safe or dangerous. A useful verification result should explain the risk, show why the result was reached, identify what could not be verified, and tell you what to do next.
What should I never share?
Never submit passwords, one-time passwords, recovery phrases, private keys, PINs, full bank-card details or other secrets that could give someone access to your accounts or money.
CHOOSE YOUR SITUATION
What are you trying to verify?

VERIFY BEFORE YOU TRUST is designed to help you move from uncertainty to a safer decision.
Why we think this
The result should explain the signals, behaviours or evidence that contributed to the assessment instead of simply giving you a warning without context.
Evidence and confidence
Where appropriate, the platform should distinguish between what it could verify, what it could not verify and how confident the assessment is. Automated guidance should never pretend to know something it cannot establish.
What you should do next
The most important part of a security warning is the action that follows it. Guidance should help you avoid unnecessary loss, protect your accounts or information, preserve useful evidence and choose an appropriate next step.
VERIFY BEFORE YOU TRUST.
A familiar name, professional-looking message, convincing screenshot, urgent request or attractive offer is not proof that something is legitimate. When money, credentials, identity, sensitive information or an irreversible action is involved, slow down and verify before acting.
