Website Scam Checker

Paste a suspicious URL - for example, a link from a text message, email, or marketplace chat - and we will run heuristic checks and an AI risk analysis.

No login required. We do not store the link publicly in a way that gets indexed.

What we check

  • Whether the site uses HTTPS
  • Top-level domain risk (some TLDs are heavily abused by scams)
  • Hostname length, hyphen count, subdomain depth
  • Brand impersonation patterns (e.g. “paypal” or “apple” in a non-official domain)
  • Urgency or sensitive keywords inside the hostname
  • Punycode / internationalized characters that can imitate Latin letters

These signals plus our AI model produce a risk score from 0 to 100, a risk level (Low, Medium, High, Critical), and a plain-English explanation of what was found.
