How FraudCheck thinks

1. Link risk

Checks the domain, link length, HTTPS, tracking code and suspicious wording.

2. Item risk

Expensive goods, machinery, pets, tickets and vehicles need stronger checks.

3. Payment risk

Bank transfer, deposits and Friends & Family payments are treated as higher risk.

4. Behaviour risk

Urgency, courier stories, refusal to view, and unrealistic prices raise the warning level.
