How this works

U.S. small-business domains from Google Places — vetted listings with real websites, not random domain lists. About 1,000 are added per month on the free monthly quota; when that runs out, discovery pauses until it resets.

Hi — I'm Alexey — I run STL Tech Handyman in St. Louis and keep this panel public so owners can see impersonation risk for free. It uses the same SPF, DKIM, and DMARC checks I run with clients.

How this works

I sample real small businesses from Google's public business directory (the same data behind Google Maps). I check each company's domain the same way you can on this site — and track how exposed it is to email impersonation as results come in.

I don't publish individual domain names — but every number here is from a real company domain.

I don't sell your email or share it with advertisers. Privacy Policy

I add about 1,000 U.S. small-business domains per month to this live panel — roughly 230/week, ~35/day, and 1–2 per hour on average. That steady pace keeps the insights free for everyone.

I'm a one-person shop running this on Google's free monthly quota — enough to keep the panel real and free, but not unlimited. When that quota is full, processing pauses until it resets.

These numbers come from real businesses — wire fraud and chargebacks hurt actual owners. I'm showing what's already out there, not selling fear.

Real wire fraud

A stranger emails as your company — your customer pays the invoice

They don't need your password. Without SPF, DKIM, and DMARC locked down, anyone can send mail that looks like it came from @yourcompany.com — and your customer can't tell.

  1. Impersonator hits send

    From a server they control — your domain in the From address. Your inbox is never touched.

  2. Your customer trusts it

    billing@yourcompany.com. Urgent invoice. Updated wire instructions. Looks exactly like you.

  3. Your customer pays

    Wire or ACH hits the scammer's account. They're sure they paid you.

  4. You're left holding the bag

    Unrecoverable wire. Chargebacks. Lawsuits. Trust you spent years building — gone in one email.

No hack. No breach. Just an unprotected domain. That's enough for a stranger to send as you — same name, same domain, real money gone before anyone notices.

Three ways this hits your wallet

Fraud & wire loss

Fake invoices and urgent payment emails sent as your company. One successful wire can cost $25,000–$120,000+ — money gone, not recovered.

Chargebacks & clawbacks

Customers pay a scammer thinking it was you. You eat chargebacks, refunds, and make-good costs — on top of the original loss.

Lawsuits & liability

When someone loses money to email impersonation, they look for someone to blame. Your business faces legal exposure, settlements, and reputation damage.
