</a>Summary
Is patch.com legit and trustworthy? Truth score 67 out of 100, mixed truth signals: 6 of 10 public checks clear, 1 to be cautious about, 3 for information. Legitimacy confidence: mixed. Customer satisfaction: mostly dissatisfied.
We read 4 of its pages: contact, about, terms and privacy. Its website address was registered 32 years ago, and is locked against transfer to someone else. No malware or phishing warnings found for its website. Be cautious: its 16 reviews on SmartCustomer average only 2.3 stars out of 5. We could not find a phone number.
Important context: Truth Signal weighs public evidence about this business. A high score means strong evidence that the business is established and legitimate, not a promise that it is safe to buy from or that every purchase will go well. A low score means the evidence is thin or raises concerns, not that the business is unsafe or a scam.
