Check · at the slightest doubt
Examine a suspicious message or link
Paste the content or the address you want to check. Galyct Perso picks out the visible signs: domain, wording, links, inconsistencies and the context you give, and tells you what further checks to make. The result does not guarantee that content is safe.
No legitimate organisation will ever ask you for a code, a password or a card number by message.
What should ring alarm bells
Just one of these signs is enough reason to slow down and check. Several at once: it is almost always a scam.
Urgency & pressure
“Your account is about to be blocked”, a countdown, a threat: rushing you is the scammer’s number one weapon.
A request for a code or a payment
You are asked for a code received by text, your login details, a transfer “to cancel” something or a gift card. Never legitimate.
An unexpected link or attachment
A link to click “quickly”, a surprise invoice, an attachment you weren’t expecting.
A sender who imitates
The name shown imitates your bank, a public service, a delivery company. But the real address or the domain doesn’t match.
The “official” number calling you
The number shown can be spoofed: on its own, it is never proof of identity.
Inconsistencies
Spelling mistakes, odd wording, information that doesn’t match your actual situation, an unusual channel.
Check in three steps
Simple, and it defuses the vast majority of traps.
Have whatever worries you analysed
Galyct Perso helps you examine a message, an email or a link: we explain the signs we found, in plain language, and what you had better do. A reassuring result does not mean “guaranteed risk-free”: it means no sign of danger was detected in this check.
Have you clicked, entered details or paid?
The free diagnosis assesses the situation and gives you the right steps, in order, without losing useful evidence.
- Change the password from a safe device
- If a payment went out, call your bank
- Don’t delete anything: keep the evidence
In all honesty. No check is infallible and an analysis does not replace your own vigilance. If the doubt persists, the safest course is still to do nothing and to contact the organisation concerned using its official contact details.
If in doubt, check.
Examine a message in your space, or start the free diagnosis if it has already gone too far.
