How to check a suspicious SMS
You only need the message text and link — no need to open the page.
01
Copy the SMS
Copy the text, sender name or number and the link. Do not install apps from text messages.
02
Assess the link and pressure
TraceScam checks shorteners, domains, small payments, account blocks and smishing patterns.
03
Verify officially
For banks, couriers or public offices, use the official website or app instead of the SMS link.
Avoid these SMS mistakes
- do not pay small surcharges from SMS links
- do not share card details or payment codes
- do not install apps sent by SMS
- do not trust the sender name alone
