How Phltr works
Phltr gives everyday people a quick, honest second opinion on anything that feels off. Here is exactly what happens when you check something.
- 1
Paste it in
Drop in a link you're unsure about, the whole message it came in, a phone number, or a screenshot. Whatever felt off, Phltr can take it.
- 2
We check it
Phltr compares links against trusted security databases, scans the wording for urgency, impersonation, and requests for sensitive details, looks up phone-number reputation, and reads screenshots, all in a few seconds.

Get a clear answer
You get a plain-English verdict, safe, suspicious, or a scam, with the reasons behind it and what to do next. No jargon, and nothing you submit is stored.
