Suspicious link check
Check whether a suspicious link is a scam
Paste the full link and the message that contained it. VerifyBeforeBuy separates the domain, compares it with the claimed service and connects technical, company and content evidence.
What to submit
Evidence that improves the result
- The complete link including https://
- The text message, email, advert or marketplace conversation
- The claimed service, seller, company and requested payment
What we check
Signals evaluated together
- Domain, HTTPS, DNS, public registration data and technical inconsistencies
- Consistency with the claimed organisation, contacts and payment details
- Suspicious redirects, impersonation, pressure and public warnings
Questions before checking
What this check can and cannot prove
Should I open the suspicious link first?
No. Copy the address without signing in, entering details or approving a payment, then submit it together with the original message.
Does HTTPS make a website safe?
No. HTTPS protects data in transit but does not prove that the operator or page content is trustworthy.
What if the link is shortened?
Submit it exactly as received and include the full message. The result explains which technical and public evidence was available and which remained unavailable.
What the result means
An old domain or valid HTTPS does not guarantee safety. Do not enter passwords, codes or card details on a suspicious page; the result distinguishes facts, risk signals and missing evidence.
