That's why I used urlquery.net - you post the URL to them

http://urlquery.net/report.php?id=1473216020310

and they fake a browser and go to the site. In this case, I saw a page in
Swedish, so I assumed a scam.

urlquery.net tracks other scams from the same IP range/ISP, whether the
site attempts to install malware and a bunch of other checks.  It also
follows shortened URLs to their target.

A couple other places to test URLs:
https://www.robtex.net/
https://virustotal.com/en/
http://www.urlvoid.com

urlquery does have some uptime problems.
