Where it runs: Runs locally (nothing you enter is uploaded)

Paste a text message to see every link in it (with or without https://, shortened or defanged), the phone numbers, and the signs that give smishing away: urgency, parcel or toll pretexts, small fees, "reply Y".

## Example input

An unpaid-toll text

```
E-ZPass: You have an unpaid toll balance of $4.35. Pay within 24 hours to avoid a fine: https://ezpass-pay.example/tolls?id=88. Reply Y and reopen this message to activate the link.
```

Flags the toll pretext, the small fee, the 24-hour deadline, the fine and the "Reply Y" trick that makes a blocked link clickable, and lists the link defanged; Send to Link Unwrapper shows where it goes without opening it.

## FAQ

### Is the message sent anywhere?

No. The text is analysed in your browser with fixed rules; nothing is stored or sent. Links are shown defanged so they cannot be opened by accident.

### Why does "Reply Y" matter?

Phones often disable links in messages from unknown senders. Replying (Y, 1, yes) or copying the link into a browser turns them back on, so scammers ask for exactly that. A real company does not need you to reply to open its link.

### The message looks clean. Is it safe?

Not necessarily: the rules catch common lures, not every scam. Do not trust a link or a number from an unexpected message; open the company’s app or type its address yourself, and check the link with Link Unwrapper first.
