About this scam type
Check Link

Warning signs
- !HTTP (not HTTPS) on login-like pages
- !Misspelled brand names in the domain
- !Shortened links (bit.ly, tinyurl) hiding destination
- !IP address instead of domain name
What to do
- 1Do not open the link — use the official app instead
- 2If opened by mistake, do not enter password or OTP
- 3Clear browser history and run antivirus if you entered details
- 4Report URL at cybercrime.gov.in
How this check works
This check uses rule-based pattern matching only — not live database lookups. We cannot confirm something is safe; we flag known scam patterns. Results are guidance, not legal or financial advice.
