Quick answer
Suspicious links often use lookalike domains, URL shorteners, or redirect chains that hide the real destination. If you are unsure, do not click — paste the full URL into our checker instead.
What Our Tool Checks
- Destination domain vs. the brand it claims to represent
- URL shorteners that obscure the real endpoint
- Lookalike domain patterns (e.g. paypa1.com, arnazon.com)
- Suspicious TLDs (.xyz, .top, .click, .tk)
- Known phishing URL patterns
Common Warning Signs
- A shortened URL from an unexpected source (SMS, email, DM)
- Hyphenated brand names in the domain (amazon-secure.com)
- Domain does not match the company shown in the message
- URL contains random strings or unusually long paths
- Sent with urgency — 'click now or lose access'
What Not to Submit
To protect your privacy, never paste these into any tool — and never submit passwords, OTPs, card numbers, bank logins, or private IDs.
- Your passwords or login credentials
- Full credit card or bank account numbers
- OTP or 2FA codes
What to Do If Something Looks Suspicious
- Hover over the link to preview the URL before clicking
- Paste the link into our tool for a risk score
- Use the official brand website or app to verify — do not visit the suspicious link just to test it.
- If already clicked — do not enter any data on the page that opens
- If you entered data — change the relevant password immediately
