Can this checker tell whether a text is a scam?
No. It flags selected wording patterns and explains why they deserve a closer look. A message without a known pattern may still be fraudulent, and a flagged message may still be legitimate. Verify the underlying claim independently.
What should you do next?
Do not use a link or phone number from an unexpected message to verify its claim. Open the organization’s official app or type a known address yourself. The link inspector can show URL structure without opening the site.
Read specific guidance for an unexpected job offer text, an unpaid toll text, or a delivery text. The FTC’s spam-text guide explains reporting options, including forwarding unwanted texts to 7726.
