Smishing scanner · AI-assisted

Did that text just try to scam you?

Paste a suspicious SMS. We parse the sender, cross-check every link against our URL-scanner database, run rule-based scam detectors, and ask an AI analyst to explain what it sees — in plain English. Typically under 10 seconds.

Short is fine — a 40-char smishing text is enough for the analyst.

Phone, 5-6 digit short-code, or alphanumeric sender ID. We detect when a mobile number is claiming to be your bank.

The pipeline

How a text gets scored

Four stages run in sequence. The AI analyst only fires after the rule-based detectors — if a link is already verdicted malicious, you get an instant answer without waiting on the model pass.

01
Parse sender
E.164 normalise, classify as mobile / VoIP / short-code / alphanumeric. Count prior reports of the same number.
02
Extract links
Every URL in the body goes through the same extractor the email scanner uses, with SMS-tuned weights on shorteners.
03
Cross-check links
Each host is looked up in our public.scans table. Known-malicious = instant high-risk verdict, no AI needed.
04
AI analyst
MT Intelligence reads the body plus every signal above and returns a category, red flags, and what to do next.
Got a suspicious text? Forward it to 7726 (SPAM) via your carrier — that routes directly to wireless industry spam intelligence. Free, and works in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia.
Built for trust

Why people actually use it

Privacy-first

We never store your personal phone number beyond the E.164 sender you paste, and we never link scans to your identity.

Free, no account

Anyone can scan a text. Sign-in only unlocks higher rate limits and the ability to comment on reports.

Shared corpus

Every scan feeds the catalogue. If the same campaign hits 47 people, everyone who submits it lands on the same report.
