Check Something Suspicious

Enter a phone number, email address, or website you're not sure about.

🔒 We never store what you enter. Everything runs privately in your browser.

How It Works

Phone Numbers

We check for known scam area codes, premium-rate numbers, and patterns used in IRS, SSA, and Medicare impersonation.

Email Addresses

We detect disposable email services, government impersonation, typosquatting (like "paypa1" instead of "paypal"), and phishing patterns.

Websites / URLs

We flag suspicious domain extensions, fake versions of real sites, phishing keywords, and missing encryption.

Try these examples to see how it works:

Phone (809) 555-1234 -- Caribbean scam area code
Email support@paypa1.com -- PayPal typosquat phishing
URL irs-refund-verify.xyz -- Fake IRS website
