The AuthentiLens Phishing Email Checker analyzes pasted email content for phishing tactics, impersonation language, and AI-generated fraud patterns. Paste the email body, subject line, and sender address, and the checker identifies the specific risk signals in the content, from spoofed sender formats and urgency language to fake invoice patterns and business email compromise indicators.
Phishing emails impersonate companies, government agencies, banks, and colleagues to trick recipients into clicking links, downloading attachments, entering credentials, or authorizing payments. Modern phishing campaigns use AI writing tools to generate convincing, grammatically correct emails at scale. Common types include fake PayPal payment alerts, fake IRS refund notices, fake Microsoft account security warnings, fake invoice payment requests that impersonate a vendor the target actually uses, and fake package delivery notifications from major carriers.
The checker looks for signals that indicate a message is likely a phishing attempt. These include sender addresses that do not match the domain of the company being impersonated, urgent account security language with artificial deadlines, requests to verify credentials by clicking a link, requests for payment through unusual methods, suspicious link patterns including lookalike domains, and language patterns associated with social engineering and business email compromise scripts.
Paste the full email including the subject line and any link text visible in the message. The sender address is one of the most important signals, so including it gives the checker significantly more to work with. For shorter SMS text messages rather than emails, use the Scam Text Checker instead, which is optimized for brief message-format content.
Common uses include checking PayPal and financial institution alerts before clicking any link, verifying vendor invoice emails before authorizing payment, checking job offer emails before responding with personal information, and inspecting any email that creates urgency or requests unusual action from you.
Every result includes a risk verdict, confidence level, and explanation of the specific signals found. If an email is flagged high risk, do not click any links or download any attachments. Contact the sender organization directly using a phone number from their official website, not from the email you received.
