Suspicious IP Address Checker
Enter an IP address to check its reputation. We query AbuseIPDB — a database of community-reported abusive IPs — and show whether the address has been linked to phishing, fraud, spam or attacks.
Found an IP in a suspicious email header, a server log, or a scam message? Check it here, then run the full message through the scam checker.
The lookup runs on our server using AbuseIPDB. Private and reserved addresses are not checked externally. A clean result means no recent reports — not a guarantee of safety.
Pattern Detection
We analyze thousands of scam reports to identify common keywords, phrasing, and technical tricks used by fraudsters.
Privacy First
Your data is analyzed securely. We don't store your personal messages, emails, or the URLs you check.

What an IP reputation check actually tells you
Every device on the internet has an IP address. When a server sends phishing emails, hosts a fake login page, or runs automated attacks, the people on the receiving end can report that IP to abuse databases. AbuseIPDB aggregates those reports into a single confidence score from 0 to 100 — the higher the number, the more recent abuse the wider community has flagged from that address.
A high score is a strong signal that an IP is dangerous. A score of zero is nota clean bill of health: brand-new scam infrastructure often has no reports yet, and attackers rotate addresses constantly. Treat a clean result as "nothing reported recently", not "safe".
How to read the confidence score
- 80–100: High risk. The IP has heavy, recent abuse reports. Do not trust anything coming from it.
- 50–79: Elevated risk. A meaningful number of reports — treat with strong suspicion.
- 20–49: Medium risk. Some reports exist; verify before trusting.
- 1–19: Low but non-zero. A few reports — worth noting alongside other red flags.
- 0 with reports shown: Read the report count and date rather than only the score.
When should you check an IP address?
- Suspicious email headers. A phishing email's "Received:" headers reveal the sending server's IP. A flagged IP confirms your suspicion.
- Scam messages that include a raw IP link like
http://45.33.32.156/logininstead of a domain — a classic phishing tell. - Server or firewall logs showing repeated login attempts from an unfamiliar address.
- A "login from a new device" alert listing an IP you don't recognise.

Frequently asked questions
Does this check IPv6 addresses too?
Yes. Both IPv4 (e.g. 45.33.32.156) and IPv6 (e.g. 2001:4860:4860::8888) are supported. Private and reserved addresses (like 192.168.x.x or 127.0.0.1) are not sent for an external check because they are not publicly routable.
Is a clean result proof the IP is safe?
No. It means no recent abuse has been reported. New scam servers and rotated addresses often have no reports yet. Always combine this with the other red flags in the message.
Is the lookup private?
The IP you enter is sent to our server to query AbuseIPDB. We do not store the IPs you check. The rest of the scanner analyses content in your browser.
