What to check before trusting a text
- Does the text create urgency, pressure or a deadline?
- Does it ask for payment, bank details, passwords or one-time codes?
- Does the link domain match the real company or government website?
- Does it hide the destination behind a short link or strange domain?
ScanLens combines message wording, URL extraction, redirects, domain reputation and scam categories to explain whether the message looks safe, suspicious or dangerous.
SMS scam checker FAQ
Can I paste the whole SMS?
Yes in the ScanLens app. The website is best for a quick URL scan, while the app is designed for full SMS message checks and reports.
What should I do if I already tapped the link?
Do not enter more details. Open the official app or website manually, change affected passwords, and contact your bank if you entered payment information.
Is one safe result a guarantee?
No scanner can guarantee safety. Use ScanLens as a strong warning layer, then verify important messages through the official service.
