A simple Likely Safe, Use Caution, or High Risk verdict — explained in plain English.
What we look at
These are the kinds of details we record and check, so you don't have to judge a website on your own.
Domain age
How long the website has existed. Brand-new sites are far more likely to be scams.
Secure connection
Whether the site uses a valid security certificate to protect the details you type in.
Community reports
Whether other people have reported the website to us as a scam, and how recently.
Company details
Who really owns and runs the website, and whether those details are hidden or fake.
Our scam database
Whether the website already appears in our records as a known or confirmed scam.
Real reviews
What other people's experiences with the website have actually been like.
Example results

Spot the warning signs
If a website does any of these, stop and check it before you type anything in.
It feels urgent
"Act now or lose access." Scammers rush you so you won't stop to think.
It wants gift cards
No real company asks to be paid in gift cards or cryptocurrency.
Too good to be true
Free prizes, huge discounts, and doubled money are nearly always bait.
The address looks odd
Tiny spelling changes (amaz0n, paypa1) hide fake copies of real sites.
When in doubt, check it out.
It only takes a few seconds and could save you a lot of money and worry. Already been caught? You can report a scam too.
