> Does this email pitch an investment? If so, return {"company":…,"website":…,"promises":[…],"red_flags":[…]} listing the classic red flags (guaranteed returns, urgency, unsolicited contact). Never conclude that the offer is trustworthy.

04Limits and legal points

Not being blacklisted ≠ being authorised: also check the official registers (REGAFI, ORIAS in France; your local regulator elsewhere). Personal data: check your LLM provider's data-processing terms (GDPR) and send it as little as possible.
