Limitations

CheckLink provides risk signals and review context, not a guarantee. Verify sensitive links through official channels before acting.

Why SMS links are hard to judge

Text messages hide context on small screens and often use shortened URLs. A delivery, account, or support message can feel urgent even when the destination is wrong.

Do not trust urgency alone

Check the final domain

Use official apps or websites for sensitive actions

How to use it

1. Copy the SMS URL without opening it if possible.

2. Paste it into CheckLink.

3. Review the final domain and redirect signals.

4. Report or request review if the message looks suspicious.

What results mean
