About ScamWise Seniors
We help people — especially older adults — check whether a website can be trusted, and report the scams they find. Here is who we are and why we do it.
Our mission
Is this site a scam? Is this shop safe to buy from? Is this website really who it says it is? These are hard questions — and scammers work hard to keep the answer unclear.
Older adults are often the target of online fraud, and the advice out there can be confusing. ScamWise Seniors was built to change that: a simple, friendly place to check a website before you trust it.
Our promise is a clear answer in plain language — so you can browse, shop, and stay in touch online with more confidence.
A clear answer, in plain words.

A word about our results
Our trust ratings are a helpful guide, not a guarantee. A safe result means we have no record of problems — but new scams appear every day, so it is always wise to use your own judgement too.
If a website is not in our records yet, you will see "Not Enough Info Yet". That is not a warning — it simply means we have not gathered enough information. You can help by reporting anything suspicious.
