Not sure where a hi4.in link goes? Add a + to the end of it. Instead of opening the website, you see a preview page with the real destination and our safety check.
Steps
- Copy the link from the message you received, for example
hi4.in/abc123. Do not tap it. - Paste it in your browser's address bar and type + at the end:
hi4.in/abc123+. Then open it. - Read the preview: the full address the link opens, our safety verdict and any warning signs we found.
- Only continue if the website name is the one you expect. If it looks wrong, use the Report button or our report form.
What the safety verdict means
| Verdict | What it means |
|---|---|
| No warning signs found | We did not see common scam signs in the address. This does not prove the website is honest — never share an OTP, UPI PIN or password just because a link asked. |
| Be careful with this link | The address has one or more warning signs, such as an unusual website ending or look-alike letters. Check the website name very carefully. |
| Do not open this link | The address shows strong signs of phishing, such as pretending to be a bank or UPI app. Do not open it, and please report it. |
When the preview cannot show the destination
- Password-protected links keep their destination private, so the preview cannot show it. Be extra careful with these if you do not know the sender.
- Expired links are shown as expired and no longer open anything.
- Links that do not exist show a "not found" page.
Checking links from other services
The + trick works only for hi4.in links. For any other short link, paste it into our free link safety checker. It follows every redirect one step at a time and checks each address. For a QR code, use the QR code scanner — it reads the code and checks the link before you open anything.
