Catch it before it catches you
Paste a link or message below and we'll check it for the warning signs of a scam, in seconds.
Here's an example of what you'll get back
This is a sample check of a typical fake delivery text. Anything you check gets the same kind of answer: a plain-English verdict, the reasons behind it, and what to do next.
Sample message:
Canada Post: Your parcel is on hold due to unpaid fees ($1.99). Pay within 24 hours to avoid return: canadapost-redelivery.top/pay
Warning
This looks like a scam
Risk score: 92 / 100
This appears to impersonate Canada Post
Why this looks like a scam
- The link goes to canadapost-redelivery.top, which isn't Canada Post's real website.
- It asks for a small payment to release a parcel, a classic delivery-scam tactic.
- It pressures you with a 24-hour deadline so you act before you think.
What to do:
This looks like a scam. Do not click any links or share any personal information. Delete this message immediately.
Phltr is a guide, not a guarantee. No tool catches everything, so a result is never a promise. Always use your own judgment and stay cautious before clicking links or sharing personal details.
