Free website checks for South Africa

Check the website before you pay.

Paste the web address of a shop or seller. We look through the public record — who owns it, how long it has existed, how it takes payment, what the safety lists know — and turn it into a report you can read before you hand over money.

  • No sign-upPaste an address and read the report. Nothing to create, nothing to pay.
  • Evidence, not a verdictEvery line links to the source, so you can check our working yourself.
  • Gaps shown clearlyWhen a source cannot be reached, we say so instead of pretending it was clean.

What gets checked

One address. Several public records.

A padlock alone cannot tell you whether a seller is trustworthy. We look for a wider pattern and show where every finding came from.

Who is behind it

Published contact details, South African phone numbers and business information.

How long it has existed

Domain registration and snapshots from the Wayback Machine, where available.

How it takes payment

Payment methods and the warning signs that matter before money changes hands.

What safety lists know

Phishing and malware feeds, Google Safe Browsing and technical checks, with every unavailable source disclosed.

How many people use it

Where the site ranks among the most-visited websites worldwide — traffic a brand-new scam cannot fake.

What other customers say

Review claims on the site itself, plus direct links to independent review sites like Hellopeter and Trustpilot.

We show evidence, not a verdict.

No automated check can promise that a website is safe. We will never label a business a scam or give you false certainty. We explain what looked concerning, what looked normal, and what we could not verify.

How a check works

One check worth doing by eye

Payment is where a lot of these sites trap people, so it is one of the things we look at. If the only way to pay is a transfer into someone’s personal bank account or cryptocurrency, you may have no practical way to get your money back. Use a card or a known payment gateway whenever you can.
