Checks the URL and the context
The same domain can be harmless in one context and risky in another. Kaval looks at the destination, redirects, domain pattern, brand impersonation, and the message pushing you to click.
URL safety
Suspicious Link Checker
A suspicious link can hide a fake login page, malware download, payment trap, or impersonation domain. Kaval checks the URL and the message around it before you open it.
Coverage
What Kaval can help check
- Lookalike domains using brand names, hyphens, misspellings, and unusual endings
- Shortened links and redirect chains
- Fake bank, wallet, courier, job, and government pages
- APK downloads, malware prompts, and browser warning patterns
- Messages that create urgency before a login or payment
Useful before login or payment
Links that ask for OTP, card details, UPI PIN, KYC updates, parcel fees, or password resets deserve extra caution. The safer route is often to stop and verify from the official app.
Good for shortened and forwarded links
Scammers use short links to hide the real destination. Paste the link first, especially when it arrived in a forwarded warning or payment message.
Workflow
How the check works
- 01
Paste the URL
Send the full link exactly as received, including short links or tracking parameters.
- 02
Domain signals are reviewed
Kaval checks domain shape, impersonation cues, redirects, and unsafe-page indicators.
- 03
Message intent is checked
The surrounding text is evaluated for pressure, payment requests, and credential harvesting.
- 04
Safe route is suggested
If the link is risky, Kaval points you to the official app, official website, or reporting route.
Answers
Common questions
Can I check a link without clicking it?
Yes. Paste the URL into Kaval rather than opening it. This is especially important for banking, delivery, KYC, and payment messages.
Are HTTPS links always safe?
No. HTTPS only means the connection is encrypted. A phishing page can also use HTTPS, so the domain and context still matter.
What should I do if I already clicked?
Close the page, do not enter more details, change affected passwords from a trusted device, and contact your bank or platform if you shared payment or login information.
