Vigie’s AI checks
every link
before it opens.
Fake and dangerous websites never reach you.
A fake page can copy your bank or your mobile money account in minutes, long before any blocklist knows about it.

Safety rules
Fixed rules make the final call, and they can block a link but never open a risky one.
Final decision
Three possible outcomes
What you see once the check is done, before anything opens.

Verification impossible
Vigie could not finish checking this link, so it stays closed.
Unverifiable
When the checks cannot finish, the link stays closed.
Real or fake?
Blocklists only know a fake site after someone reports it, so Vigie asks a question that works on a site created this morning: which company does this page claim to be, and is this really that company's website?
| ecobank-tg-verif.com | ecobank.com | |

| Claims to be | Ecobank | Ecobank |
| Domain created | 2 days ago | 1998, 28 years ago |

Illustrative example.
Rules that hold
Six fixed protections remain active, even when the AI is uncertain.
Protection always on
Three protections keep the final decision under control.
-
Threats stay blocked
Known dangerous links never open, and unclear evidence keeps the link closed.
-
Evidence stays trustworthy
Page content is read as evidence, never as instructions, and an official site needs two sources.
-
You stay in control
Warning screens cannot open links, and private access links stay on your device.
