How it works

Simple process.
Clear answer.

Three steps from suspicious email to clear verdict — no accounts, no downloads, no jargon.

01

Forward the Email

Send any suspicious email to [email protected]. No account needed. No login. No forms. Just forward it like you would to a friend.

02

Instant Automated Scan

Our system checks the sender domain, email headers, and all links against threat databases in seconds. You get a Green, Amber, or Red verdict automatically.

03

Need Certainty? Go Deeper

Amber result or high-stakes email? Upgrade to a human deep-dive — a real analyst reviews it fully and replies in plain English within minutes.

Verdicts

Three outcomes.
All actionable.

🟢 Green — Safe

Looks Legitimate

The sender, domain, links, and content all check out. This email appears genuine. We'll tell you specifically why — not just that it passed.

🟡 Amber — Uncertain

Proceed With Caution

Something doesn't add up, but we can't confirm a scam automatically. Our scan catches 80–90% of scams — Amber means this one needs human eyes.

⚡ Upgrade to human deep-dive · £9.99
🔴 Red — Confirmed Scam

Do Not Engage

Confirmed fraud or phishing. We'll identify the scam type, what they're after, and how to report it to Action Fraud if needed.

Pricing

Simple, honest pricing.
No lock-in. No hidden fees.

⚠️
Important: The £2.99 automated scan detects approximately 80–90% of email scams using domain analysis, link scanning, and pattern recognition. It cannot guarantee detection of every threat. If you receive an Amber result or are handling a high-value transaction, we strongly recommend upgrading to a human deep-dive review. All verdicts are advisory opinions — VettMail accepts no liability for decisions made based on scan results.

FAQ

Common questions
answered.

How does VettMail actually work? +
You forward or paste the suspicious email to us. Our automated system analyses the sender domain, email headers, embedded links, language patterns, and known scam signatures. Within 60 seconds you receive a Green, Amber, or Red verdict with a plain English explanation of exactly what we found and why.
Is my email data kept private? +
Yes. Submitted emails are used solely for analysis and are automatically deleted after 30 days. We never sell, share, or use your data for any other purpose. All data is processed and stored securely in the UK. See our Privacy Policy below for full details.
What's the difference between automated and human review? +
The automated scan (included in all plans) uses AI and pattern recognition to analyse emails in under 60 seconds — it catches approximately 80–90% of threats. A human deep-dive means a trained analyst personally reads the email, checks the context, and provides a full written assessment. We recommend human review for any Amber result or high-value transaction.
Can I check text messages and letters too, not just emails? +
Yes. While we specialise in email analysis, you can submit the text content of any suspicious communication — SMS messages, WhatsApp messages, or text from a physical letter. Simply paste the content when submitting your check.
What do Green, Amber, and Red mean? +
Green — No significant threats detected. The email appears legitimate based on our analysis.

Amber — Some suspicious signals detected. Proceed with caution. We recommend a human deep-dive before acting on this email, especially if it involves money or personal information.

Red — High probability of scam or fraud. Do not click any links, do not reply, and do not provide any information. Report to Action Fraud if appropriate.
Can I cancel my subscription at any time? +
Yes, all subscription plans can be cancelled at any time with no penalty. Simply email [email protected] and we'll process your cancellation immediately. You'll retain access until the end of your current billing period.
Do you offer refunds? +
Pay-as-you-go checks are non-refundable once the analysis has been completed and delivered. For monthly subscriptions, if you're unhappy within your first 7 days we'll issue a full refund — no questions asked. Contact [email protected].
Is VettMail suitable for my business? +
Yes. VettMail is used by sole traders, SMEs, estate agents, schools, and trades businesses. Our Business Standard and Ultra plans are designed specifically for teams, with multiple staff addresses, monthly reports, and invoice billing. Contact [email protected] to discuss your requirements.
