Check Scam Texts & Links

Get a clearer view of a suspicious text, chat, email, or link before replying, opening it, or sending money.
Paste the text or link, or share it from another app. Check Scam Texts & Links looks for a limited set of warning signs on your device, including urgency, payment pressure, requests for passwords or one-time codes, and requests to move a conversation elsewhere.
Links are not opened by the app. If the online service is available, submitted URLs can be checked against known web threats through Google Web Risk. The result explains what was checked and suggests a safer next step.
• Paste text or a link, or share from another app
• See which warning signs were found
• Understand whether an online link check completed
• Keep short check summaries on this device and clear them any time
• Use English or German
Important: No known threat found does not guarantee a message is safe. The app does not read incoming messages automatically or block links in other apps.
