Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the engine, trust scores, and platform integration.
-
What is the Trust Score based on?
Our engine dynamically calculates a trust score by performing deep forensic surface checks. This includes compiling WHOIS registration data, analyzing server configurations, fingerprinting the technology stack, tracking SSL validity, identifying standard scam templates, cross-checking live Trustpilot aggregate sentiment, and querying live threat indicators from EarnMoreCashToday.
-
Is the scanning process automatic?
Yes. The moment you input a domain URL, our proxy node initiates simultaneous, real-time background scans against all data vectors to fetch server responses, evaluate performance speeds, and calculate the domain age.
-
Do you track my personal information?
No. ScamSonar relies strictly on public-facing internet data and server footprints to analyze URLs. We do not require account registration to scan a website, and we log queries solely for updating our aggregated threat intelligence grid.
-
Why is a well-known site showing a lower score?
A low "trust" metric doesn't definitively mean a site is malicious. Strict constraints around poor performance metrics, lack of clear contact details, or recent server migrations can influence the footprint score. Always treat the score as purely an advisory layer.
