LinkGuard - Scam Link Scanner

Before you tap a link or scan a QR code, know what's on the other side.

ScamShield checks QR codes and URLs in seconds — combining live threat databases with on-device scam detection — so you can spot phishing, malware, and scam links before they cost you.

HOW IT WORKS

Every scan runs through three layers:

• Threat databases — checked against Google Safe Browsing, the URLhaus abuse feed, and a cached OpenPhish feed

• Redirect unmasking — shortened and redirecting links are followed to their real, final destination before being checked

• On-device heuristics — punycode/homoglyph tricks, raw IP hosts, known shortener domains, suspicious TLDs, brand typosquatting, phishing keywords, and credentials embedded in URLs are all flagged automatically, even offline

WHAT YOU GET

• Scan any QR code with your camera, or paste a link to check it manually

• Clear Safe / Suspicious / Dangerous verdicts with a full breakdown of why

• Scan history, kept private on your device

• Share a link into ScamShield from any app (Messages, WhatsApp, email) to check it instantly

• Works even offline, with on-device heuristics as a fallback

WHY IT MATTERS

Scam QR codes on parking meters, phishing links in texts, and fake login pages are everywhere. ScamShield gives you a fast, clear answer before you open something you shouldn't.

FREE & PRO

ScamShield is free to use, with 5 scans included. ScamShield Pro removes the limit entirely, drops ads, and unlocks unlimited scan history.

Your privacy matters: scanned URLs are checked, not stored, and your scan history never leaves your device unless you choose to share it. Full details in our in-app Privacy Policy.

No scanner can catch every threat — ScamShield is a risk indicator to help you make a safer decision, not a guarantee. Always use good judgment before entering personal information or downloading anything from a link.
