Phishing Email Checker
Paste a suspicious email or text message to spot common phishing red flags — urgency, credential requests, gift-card payments, look-alike links and more.
How to use
- 1Paste the message text (include any links — copy the link address, don't click it).
- 2Review the red flags found. When in doubt, contact the company through its official app or website.
How it's calculated
The text is checked against well-known phishing patterns, each with a weight. It's a heuristic — a low score doesn't prove a message is safe.
Frequently asked questions
What should I do with a phishing email?
Don't click links or open attachments. Report it (in Gmail/Outlook use 'Report phishing'; in the US forward texts to 7726) and delete it.
I clicked a link — now what?
Don't enter anything. If you did, change that password immediately, turn on 2FA and contact your bank if you shared card details.
Can this tool catch every scam?
No. Targeted scams can look perfect. Verify unexpected requests for money or logins through a separate, known channel.
