Someone sent you something. Is it known to be bad?

Paste the link — or the whole message you were sent — and this will look up every address inside it and tell you whether any has been reported as malicious by a threat-intelligence source we are allowed to republish. It asks nothing of you: no sign-up, no email address, no app.

Read the answer carefully. None of the replies is “safe”. Most scam links are hours old and appear on nobody’s list yet, so “not reported” is the ordinary answer for a live scam as well as for a harmless link — and a scam that asks for money, gift cards or a one-time code often carries no link at all, which this cannot see.

What an answer here does not mean

Written on this page until the checker answers — then replaced by the limits this deployment states for itself.

If the answer is that something has been reported, treat anything you already sent to it as compromised: change that password from a different device, and tell your bank before you tell anyone else. If the answer is that there was nothing to check, that is not reassurance — it means the message carried no address we could look up, and a demand for money, gift cards or a one-time code is a scam whether or not it carries a link. · Home · Report a flaw in Helix Counter
