SMS Control is a lightweight web application that helps users quickly check whether an SMS message may be part of a phishing or fraud attempt.
Users can paste incoming SMS content and receive an instant risk-focused analysis. The platform is designed for speed, privacy, and accessibility, with a clear interface that makes scam checks easy for non-technical users.
The core goal of this project is to provide a practical, free security utility that improves everyday digital safety and reduces the chance of SMS-based fraud.
