What a scam website report looks like

Browse the list of reported scam websites and open one: a brand-new domain, a phishing report and no customer history add up to a high-risk score.

What this check looks at

Scam patterns

Risky extensions such as .shop, .top or .xyz, bait words in the name and multiple hyphens are common in scam domains.

Domain registration

Scam sites rarely last long. A brand new domain with heavy discounts is a red flag.

Google Safe Browsing

We check whether Google has flagged the site for phishing or malware.

Complaints from victims

Low ratings and reports from people who lost money appear on every report.

Questions people ask

How do I know if a website is a scam?

Warning signs include a very new domain, prices far below everyone else, no contact details, payment only by bank transfer or crypto, and reviews that are all complaints about missing orders.

What should I do if I already paid a scam website?

Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask for a chargeback, report the site to the authorities, and leave a review here to warn others. Our guide on what to do if you were scammed explains each step.

Can a legit website get a low score?

Yes, occasionally. Very new but honest shops can score low until they build a history and collect reviews. That is why we show every reason behind the score.
