just wanna ask how to check sign message is legit.
seen lending threads asking sign message but how do they know its true?

you can do that from your wallet ( Electrum, Bitcoin core, etc....)

or you can check this with an easy online tool , ie: http://coinig.com/ Cool

I would not recommend anyone to use coinig because they are prone to errors and can't verify messages properly. also they can't verify any signed messages with multiple lines
like
this.

Better just download a wallet, like the ones mentioned. Using an online tool would mean that you're putting your trust on the party operating it to sign your messages.

you're right alani123 : indeed, to sign a message the better solution is a desktop wallet .. but, in this case , it seem the OP just search a way to "verify" a signed message ..

In Memory of Zepher

Shorena created a useful tutorial on creating and verifying signatures here.
If you would like to use a non-web service, there is the 'Verify Message' option under 'File' in Bitcoin Core, A 'Verify' option in Electrum on the 'Sign/Verify message' option under 'Tools' and a 'Verify Message' option under 'Tools' in MultiBit.
