at virustotal.com and urlscan.io.  While these websites are 100% in investigative confirmations of nefarious actions, they will give you a good idea if the URL that was sent to you is trustworthy or not. 

Thank you very much for sharing your tools. It is really important to raise awareness on how to counteract these issues. 
What I usually do when I receive links here on fiverr, is to copy them and open them in a virtual machine, just to check what the link contains without the risk of damaging my own system... But as you say, the best way to detect these is to use our own criteria.
