How TrustScan Calculates Your Trust Score

Every email gets a score from 0–100 based on AI-authorship signals and threat risk, powered by GPT-4o. The score maps to a simple traffic-light verdict.

80–100
Green — Safe

No significant phishing, scam, or AI-threat signals detected. Looks safe to read and act on.

50–79
Amber — Caution

Some risk signals present. Be careful with links, attachments, and any requests in this email.

0–49
Red — High Risk

High likelihood of phishing, scam, or fraud. Do not click links or share any information.

Scores are generated fresh for every email you open. Email content is discarded immediately after scoring — never stored permanently.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about TrustScan for Gmail.

Is TrustScan free to use?
TrustScan is free to install and try. Paid plans start at $5 per month and unlock more monthly scans plus advanced phishing and scam detection. See our pricing page for full details.
Can TrustScan detect ChatGPT or AI-written emails?
Yes. TrustScan is specifically built to detect emails written by AI tools including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and similar large language models. It analyzes writing style, grammar uniformity, and language patterns to flag AI-generated content.
Does TrustScan store my email content?
No. TrustScan never permanently stores your email content. Email text is sent securely for analysis and discarded immediately once your trust score is generated. TrustScan is privacy-focused and complies with Google API Services User Data Policy. Read our privacy policy for full details.
Which browsers does TrustScan support?
TrustScan works on Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Brave — any Chromium-based browser that supports Chrome extensions. Install it directly from the Chrome Web Store.
How does TrustScan detect phishing emails?
TrustScan analyzes every Gmail message for phishing signals including urgent language patterns, suspicious sender details, social engineering tactics, fake invoice indicators, and credential-theft attempts. It then shows a clear Green, Amber, or Red trust score so you know whether to trust the email before clicking any links.
Does TrustScan work automatically or do I need to click anything?
TrustScan works automatically. When you open an email in Gmail, it analyzes the message in the background and displays a trust score badge next to the subject line. You can also hover over any image to trigger a deepfake and AI-image scan on demand.
What does a green, amber, or red score mean?
A green score (80–100) means the email looks safe to read. An amber score (50–79) means some risk signals are present — be careful with links and attachments. A red score (0–49) means high risk: the email is likely phishing, a scam, or fraud — do not click links or share any information.
How does TrustScan calculate the trust score?
TrustScan uses GPT-4o to score each email on two dimensions: an AI-authorship score and an overall risk score covering phishing, scam, and fraud signals. These are combined into a single trust score weighted toward threat signals. The score is generated fresh every time you open an email.
Is TrustScan GDPR compliant?
Yes. TrustScan is GDPR compliant. Email content is processed ephemerally and never stored permanently. EEA users have the right to access, rectify, erase, and restrict their personal data. See our privacy policy or contact support@trustscan.email to exercise your rights.
How does TrustScan compare to Gmail's built-in spam filter?
Gmail's spam filter catches mass-blast spam based on known patterns. TrustScan goes further by detecting targeted phishing, AI-generated emails, deepfake images, and sophisticated scams that bypass Gmail's filter because they are personalized and don't match bulk-spam signatures.
Does TrustScan work with Google Workspace accounts?
Yes. TrustScan works with both personal Gmail accounts and Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) business accounts. Any Gmail inbox accessible at mail.google.com is supported.
Can TrustScan detect fake invoice or business email compromise scams?
Yes. TrustScan is trained to identify fake invoice scams and business email compromise (BEC) attacks — including emails that impersonate vendors, contain fraudulent payment requests, or impersonate executives to pressure recipients into transferring funds.
What happens when TrustScan flags a phishing email?
TrustScan displays a red trust score badge with a verdict such as "Phishing Email" or "Scam Email" and a brief plain-English explanation. No action is taken automatically — you stay in control and can review the full analysis before deciding how to respond.
