Suspicious Link Checker

Check a link from an email, SMS or message before you click it: fake brand domains, lookalike letters, hidden destinations, risky domain endings and domain age.

🔒 The check runs in your browser: the link is not uploaded. Only domain names are looked up, and we never open the links.

How to use the Suspicious Link Checker

  1. Copy the full suspicious email with its headers (for example in Gmail: ⋮ → "Show original"), or just the text, or a link.
  2. Paste it in the box (or open the .eml file) and click the check button.
  3. Read the risk level and each warning sign, with a plain explanation of why it matters.
  4. Follow the advice: do not click or pay, and report the scam if the risk is high.

About this tool

Scam links imitate real websites with tiny spelling changes (paypa1.com), extra words (paypal-secure-login.com), look-alike characters or link shorteners. Paste the link here to inspect it safely: we never open it.

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to paste a scam link here?

Yes. The link is only analysed as text and its domain is looked up; the page itself is never opened.

The link looks fine. Is the website safe?

Not necessarily. A real-looking address can still host a scam, and legitimate sites can be hacked. Never enter passwords or card details on a page you reached from an unexpected message.

Is the Suspicious Link Checker free?

Yes. The Suspicious Link Checker is completely free to use, with no sign-up and no limits on normal use.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes, it works in any modern browser on phones, tablets and computers. No app to install.
