Link & Website Scam Checker — Is This Website Safe?
Before you click a link or enter details on an unfamiliar website, check it here. ScamAdvisory's free link and website checker inspects a URL for the hallmarks of phishing, fake shops and malware — including the domain's age, reputation, hosting and whether it imitates a trusted brand. Scam links arrive by email, text, social media and ads, often shortened or disguised so you can't see where they really lead. Red flags include a domain registered only days ago, a lookalike address, no secure connection, prices that seem too good to be true, and pressure to pay by bank transfer or gift card. Paste the full link into the checker for a plain-English risk summary in seconds. If the result raises concerns, don't enter passwords or payment details — verify the real website independently first. When something doesn't feel right, check it here before you click.
Warning signs of an unsafe link or website
- The domain was registered very recently
- A lookalike address with small misspellings or extra words
- No padlock — the site isn't using a secure (https) connection
- Deals or prices that seem too good to be true
- Only accepts bank transfer, cryptocurrency or gift cards
- Poor spelling, or missing contact and returns information
