Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built islegit.email (isditecht.email for 🇳🇱) after my own data leaked in a telecom breach: Name, address, phone number, even copies of my passport and driver's license. Overnight I went from never seeing a scam to getting hit with them every single day.
Being the tech-savvy guy, I always drilled my family on one rule: if an email, text, or call feels off, check with me before you do anything. It worked. Until last week. My mom called me, a bit embarrassed, to say she'd paid a fake invoice. It came from a real company she actually uses, went straight past her spam filter, and one "Pay with iDEAL" link took €159,38 in under a minute. The only giveaway was the sender's domain which was masked by her email client and just displayed the companies name instead.
With AI in the mix, this stuff is only going to get better and more common. So I built the tool I wish I'd had. It uses the same weapons the scammers do, AI and solid engineering, except it's on your side.
How it works: you forward any suspicious email and get back a plain answer in under a minute. Legit, phishing, or fake invoice. A score out of 100, the reasons in normal language, and what to do next.
On privacy, which is the whole reason I made this: when you forward an email, we already know it's from you, so we strip your identity out of it first. Then a local model that doesn't train on or keep your data scrubs anything sensitive that's left over, before any of it ever reaches a more capable AI for the actual analysis. Nothing gets stored, and we don't sell data, ever.
No app, no account needed to try it, and your first check is free. Would love your feedback. And honestly, I hope you never need it for someone you love.
