URL safety
Suspicious Link Checker
Use this before opening a link from SMS, WhatsApp, email, delivery messages, bank KYC warnings, job offers, or refund claims.
what it looks for
- Lookalike brand names, misspellings, hyphen-heavy domains, and unusual endings
- Shortened links and tracking-heavy URLs that hide intent
- Login, OTP, KYC, delivery, payment, refund, and APK-install pressure
- Whether the safer route is an official app, typed domain, or support number from a trusted source
This public page does not fetch the target page, expand redirects, scan infrastructure, or probe hosts. It prepares a WhatsApp draft so Kaval can review the context in a controlled product flow.
what it can’t tell you
- It cannot prove a site is safe without opening or scanning it.
- It does not expand short links in the public page.
- A clean-looking URL can still host a phishing page later.
safer next steps
- 1Do not enter passwords, OTPs, card details, Aadhaar, PAN, or UPI PIN from a message link.
- 2Open the official app or type the known official website yourself.
- 3Forward the link to Kaval on WhatsApp if you need a deeper check with context.
a simple way to check it
Paste the URL
Send the full link exactly as received, including short links or tracking parameters.
Domain signals are reviewed
Kaval checks domain shape, impersonation cues, redirects, and unsafe-page indicators.
Message intent is checked
The surrounding text is evaluated for pressure, payment requests, and credential harvesting.
Safe route is suggested
If the link is risky, Kaval points you to the official app, official website, or reporting route.
good to know
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.
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.
questions people ask
Can this checker tell me a link is definitely safe?
No public URL checker can promise that. This page opens a WhatsApp draft so Kaval can check the link and context without exposing an anonymous open scanner.
Why does Kaval avoid fetching URLs on this public page?
Open scanners can be abused to probe sites, trigger malicious pages, or enumerate infrastructure. Kaval keeps anonymous public pages lightweight and moves deeper checks into controlled product flows.
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.
