Before you download Acid Test
Does it call a site a scam?
It gives one of five plain answers, from “Trust it” to “Walk away”, and shows what each check found. The evidence is there for you to read.
Does it open the site on my PC?
No. It reads the site from the outside and looks up public records about it. Nothing from the site is run on your computer.
Can it be wrong?
Yes. A new honest shop can look young and a careful fraud can look old. That is why it shows every finding and not only the answer.
What does it read?
The site itself and public records: domain and company registries, archives, blocklists, reviews.
