Check a marketplace message or link

Paste the message and any link without opening it. Remove contact details, passwords and banking codes. The checker reviews payment requests, moves outside the platform and available signals for recognised URLs.

Text and recognised link checks: 1 credit. We cannot confirm payment or visually inspect the destination page.

Decisive check: Open the Leboncoin or Vinted app yourself, check the sale and payment in your account, and do not ship based only on a text, email or screenshot.

Official guidance: Leboncoin · Vinted.

WARNING SIGNS

When should you be especially careful?

Buyer wants to move to WhatsApp
A link to receive your money
Card details demanded to get paid
Vouchers or transfers outside the app

HOW IT WORKS

A clear answer in three steps

1

Submit the item

Paste or import the suspicious item without interacting with it further.

2

Run the checks

SecurCheck examines technical signals and available sources to assess the risk.

3

Take the right action

The report explains the evidence, limitations and practical precautions to take.

What SecurCheck checks

A fake payment or shipping message can lead to a lookalike site. Check the link and confirm the sale in the official app opened independently.

  • Messages moving the deal outside the platform
  • Recognised links and domains
  • Requests for card or banking codes
  • Payment status to verify in your own account

What to do when something looks suspicious

Stop interacting with the item, preserve the evidence and contact the person or organisation through a separately verified channel.

A SecurCheck score supports a decision but is not a certification or an absolute guarantee. New, private or unavailable signals may remain unobservable.

Help employees recognise personal phishing and BYOD risks

On Leboncoin or Vinted, fake buyers and sellers may send payment or delivery links imitating familiar services. Staff who also use personal phones for work can encounter these traps in everyday use.

SecurCheck Business helps staff review messages and recognised links, then verify a transaction directly in the relevant app. It highlights requests to leave the platform, suspicious links and off-platform payment methods.

The check cannot confirm a profile's identity, a payment or a page's visual appearance, and does not guarantee a response time.
