Comment on How to check whether a particular url is safe or not ?

You can check URLs and files at virustotal.com for free.
If you have Windows 10/11 Pro and your computer supports virtualization, you can enable the Windows Sandbox in Windows Features too. This creates a temporary virtual machine with the bare essentials and no antivirus built in for testing stuff like this to see what the worst case scenario is if you visited/accessed.

I work on my small Samsung Android phone. Is there any means of creating a sandbox here ?

I’m not familiar on that platform, unfortunately, as I’m on iPhone.
But I think you should still be able to use virustotal’s website on mobile to check websites and also files.
There may be a sandbox app available for Android, but I’m not aware of any particular ones to recommend.
