Tested before it answers you
We measure Scam Check against real mail.
Before every change, we test Scam Check on a set of real emails. Each one was read and marked scam, genuine or marketing before the test. The set includes scams collected by security researchers, scams sent to our own team, and genuine bills, bank notices and account emails. In our latest test (October 2026):
98.8%of 492 emails got the right answer
157 of 157scams were caught
99.6%got a clear answer rather than "we can't tell"
100.0%right on 130 emails Scam Check had never seen while we were tuning it
People have sent us 19 messages to check since 7 October 2026. Scam Check can still be wrong. Every reply says so and asks you to tell us when it is, and those corrections become part of the next test.
