Evidence-cited alerts
Read what an identified source says about the exact address, the limits of that evidence, and safer next steps. These are point-in-time alerts, not independent legal findings.
Scam Detective assesses public signals available at the time of checking. “Safe” means no major risk was identified from those signals — not that a site or brand is guaranteed safe. Sites and threats can change, and hidden facts may not be visible.
Do not rely on a result alone for financial, legal, or personal-safety decisions. We do not continuously monitor sites or domains, execute takedowns, recover funds, provide real-time feeds or an API, or give legal advice. If you already paid a scammer, contact your bank or payment provider promptly.
Submitted URLs, optional context, company names, and domains are used to produce the requested result and are not included in analytics events. Purchase is verified server-side before fulfillment.
