Checking a website address instead? Use the domain checker on the homepage — type or paste the address and get a verdict in seconds.
How this check works
The wording is compared against the pressure tactics and payment patterns used in real scams — urgency, security-code requests, changed bank details, fake delivery fees, prize bait, and more. Every link in the message is extracted and identified, including shortened links that hide their destination and disguised lookalike addresses. If the message points at a website, that domain then gets the same evidence-based check used across MyDomainRisk: how old it is, who registered it, whether it appears in trusted threat-intelligence feeds, and what its homepage is actually doing.
Everything runs from the outside, without touching your accounts or devices. No verdict is a guarantee — when money is involved, always confirm through a phone number or website you already trust, never one from the message itself.

- Contact your bank immediately using the number on the back of your card.
- Change the password for any account you signed into, and anywhere else that password is used.
