What is TrustScore and How Does It Work?
Understanding TrustScore
TrustScore is a risk-assessment tool designed to help you make informed decisions when interacting with people or businesses online.
How TrustScore Works
TrustScore analyzes publicly available information to generate a risk assessment. It looks at factors such as:
- Digital presence - Website age, social media accounts, and online footprint - Business registration - Publicly available company information - Contact verification - Whether contact details are valid and reachable - Behavioral patterns - Consistency across platforms
What TrustScore Is NOT
TrustScore is not a guarantee of trustworthiness. It provides data points to help you make decisions, but it cannot predict future behavior.
> Important Notice: TrustScore results should be one of many factors you consider. Always conduct your own due diligence before any transaction.
Score Ranges
Scores range from 0 to 100:
- 70-100: Lower risk indicators observed - 40-69: Mixed signals; proceed with caution - 0-39: Higher risk indicators; investigate further
Using TrustScore Wisely
Use TrustScore as a starting point, not an endpoint. Combine it with your own research, verified reviews, and direct communication.
