How Jortty decides

Facts first. Then judgment. Then the hard rules.

Jortty doesn’t guess from how an email sounds. It gathers proof first, then reads the email like a careful fraud investigator.

Step 1

It gathers the facts

The real sender address, not just the name it shows
For a connected inbox, whether your email provider confirmed the sender is real
Where every link really goes, including short links
Whether a link is on Google’s lists of known scam and malware websites
How new the sender’s website is
Hidden text, pictures and attachments

Step 2

It reads the email in a set order

Who really sent it?
Where do the links really go?
What does it want?
Does the story fit?
Any hidden tricks?

Step 3

Hard rules have the last word

Some proof is too strong to argue with. These always make an email Dangerous:

A link on a list of known scam and malware websites
A sender name written with look-alike letters from other alphabets
A subject line with hidden characters to slip past filters
An e-card or invitation whose link leaves the site it claims to be from

And an email Jortty couldn’t read is never called Safe.

Four plain answers

Every check ends in one of four answers.

Jortty lands on Safe or Dangerous whenever it can tell. Each answer comes with what it checked and what to do next.

Safe

It’s real

A receipt, a reminder or a newsletter from the company it says it’s from.

Clutter

Harmless, but unwanted

Ads, sales pitches and junk mail that ask for nothing risky. Not a threat, just not worth your time.

Suspicious

Check first

It asks for something risky, like a password or a payment, and Jortty can’t confirm it’s genuine.

Dangerous

It’s a scam

It lies about who sent it, its links go somewhere else, or it follows a known scam pattern. Don’t tap anything.

The answer

You’ll know why, and what to do.

Jortty explains exactly how it knows, in plain words, and gives you two or three clear steps. Next time, you’ll recognize the trick yourself.
