The problem
Scams don't always look like scams.
Modern fraud rarely arrives with a warning label. It comes through the everyday channels you already trust — and you often receive the information before you know whether it deserves a closer look.
WebsitesPhone numbersPayment accountsCrypto walletsSocial media identitiesMessagesOnline marketplacesFake businessesInvestment offersImpersonation
A single message can reference a website, a phone number and a payment account all at once. Taking a moment to research what you’re looking at — before money changes hands — is often the difference between a close call and a costly mistake.
How it works
Four steps to a more informed decision.
Check anything before you pay for it. Exposing Scams shows what has been reported and how strong the evidence behind it is — it never tells you what to do.
- 01
Search
Paste the website, phone number, payment handle or wallet address you were given — before you send anything.
- 02
Review
If it has been reported, you see it at once: how many reports, how much people lost, and how risky it looks.
- 03
Understand
Open the record for the verification status, how strong the evidence is, and why it was rated that way.
- 04
Decide
You have what the community knows. The choice stays yours — and if something looks wrong, you can dispute it.

Core features
Everything you need to research suspicious activity.
One place to check the identifiers scammers rely on — and to understand the community intelligence behind them.
Phone Number Checks
Look up a phone number to see whether it appears in community reports or has been linked to suspicious activity.
Payment Account Checks
Research payment identifiers and review the community information reported against them before you transact.
Crypto Wallet Intelligence
Research a crypto wallet address and the related reports and context available for it, where supported.
Evidence & Verification
Reports can be reviewed and categorized by the amount and quality of evidence available, so status reflects substance.
Community Reports
People contribute what they have experienced, helping others recognize the patterns behind potential scams.
Community Forum
Discuss suspicious experiences, ask questions and learn how new scams work from others in the community.
Alerts & Notifications
Track keywords and identifiers that matter to you and stay informed about relevant activity and updates.
Verification
Nothing goes public until a person has reviewed it.
A submission is not a listing. Every report is assigned to a moderator, and only an administrator can publish the decision — so nothing here arrived on its own. The status label tells you what that review concluded.
- 1
Reported
Someone submits information about suspicious activity.
- 2
Under Review
The submission enters the review queue.
- 3
Investigating
Available evidence and context are examined.
- 4
Evidence Review
Material is weighed for quality and consistency.
- 5
Verification Decision
A status is assigned based on the evidence.
- 6
Published Status
The reviewed status becomes visible to the community.
Transparent status labels
- Verified Scam
- Suspicious
- Under Review
- Insufficient Evidence
- Disputed
Evidence strength reflects the amount and quality of information reviewed. Submitted material is not automatically considered verified evidence — status can change as new information is examined.
Why trust the platform
Built around better information, not fear.
Exposing Scams is designed to help you think clearly — with transparency about what a status means and how it was reached.
Evidence Matters
Information is reviewed before it receives a verified status — a claim alone is not a conclusion.
Context Matters
A single report does not automatically establish a finding. Context is part of the picture.
Transparency Matters
You can see the relevant status and understand what it means, in plain language.
Community Matters
People contribute experiences and information that may help others avoid harm.
Corrections Matter
Incorrect, outdated or disputed information can be flagged for review.
Community
Learn from the community.
Scams evolve quickly. The Exposing Scams community gives people a place to discuss suspicious experiences, share information and learn from others who have seen similar tactics.
- Discuss suspicious experiences as they happen
- Follow trending discussions and emerging tactics
- Ask questions and learn from real experiences
Join the Community
The forum lives inside the mobile app.
Contribute
Your experience could help someone else.
If you’ve encountered something suspicious, you can submit information about it through the mobile app. Submitting a report does not automatically mean it will be published as a verified finding — reports may be reviewed before publication.

- Add the evidence you have
- Reviewed before a verified status
If you have already lost money
Already sent the money? Do these first.
Reporting it helps the next person. These steps help you — and the first hours matter more than anything that comes after.
Step 1
Act quickly
Contact your bank or payment provider immediately and tell them the payment was obtained by fraud. Ask about a chargeback or recall. Speed matters more than anything else here.
Step 2
Report it officially
File with your local police or national fraud service. Keep the crime reference — banks and insurers usually ask for it.
Step 3
Work through a checklist
The app's Recovery Centre has step-by-step checklists for chargebacks, bank transfers, crypto and stolen identity, and it saves your progress through them.
Beware recovery scams
Nobody legitimate will ask you to pay a fee to get your money back. People who have just lost money are targeted again by precisely that offer — treat any such approach as a second scam.
If a report names you
Named in a report? You have a right of reply.
Reports are allegations, not verdicts. If one names you or your business and you believe it is wrong, a human moderator will look at your side of it.
Reply with evidence
Open the report and file a dispute. You can attach receipts, delivery confirmations, chat logs, contracts — anything that shows the other side of what happened.
A person reviews it
Disputes go to a human moderator, not an automated filter. They can change a report's status, attach your response to it, or remove it entirely where the evidence supports that.
Leave a way to reach you
Adding an email or phone number to your dispute lets a moderator come back to you for clarification. It is optional, and it is never published on the report.
What we can and cannot do
We can correct our record. We cannot settle a commercial dispute, recover your money, or make a legal ruling.

Use cases
Built for everyday digital decisions.
A quick check fits naturally into the moments where money and trust are on the line.
Before paying an unknown seller
Research the available information before completing a transaction with someone you don't know.
Before visiting a suspicious website
Check the available signals and community information for the domain first.
Before sending crypto
Research a wallet address and any related reports, where supported.
After receiving a suspicious message
Investigate the phone numbers, websites or payment identifiers it references.
When something feels wrong
Research what others may have already reported about it.
Research helps you make more informed decisions — it does not guarantee safety. Always use your own judgement.
Stay informed
Know the signals.
Most scams share a handful of tell-tale signs. Recognising them early gives you time to slow down and research before you act.
- Pressure to act immediately
- Requests for unusual payment methods
- Suspicious or shortened links
- Impersonation of people or brands
- Unrealistic promises or guaranteed returns
- Requests for sensitive personal information
- Unexpected payment or refund requests
- Inconsistent business information
About us
What we are, and what we are not
Scammers move fast and hide behind throwaway usernames, wallets and phone numbers. Exposing Scams exists to give ordinary people a fast, honest way to check who they're dealing with — before they send money — by pooling the first-hand experiences and evidence of a global community.
We are a community-powered fraud awareness platform — not a law-enforcement agency, court, or government authority. Reports are allegations shared by members of the public, reviewed by human moderators, and always verifiable through the evidence attached. Our job is to surface warning signs early and let you make an informed decision.
What we don't do
We don't decide guilt
A report is an allegation with evidence attached, not a verdict. We publish what was submitted and reviewed, we label what moderators were able to verify, and we leave the judgement to you.
We don't take payment to remove a report
No amount of money buys a takedown, a lower risk score, or a quieter place in search results. If a report is wrong it is corrected on the evidence — and that route is free and open to anyone.
We don't sell your personal information
Your real name is never published; only a display name you choose appears publicly. Your personal data is not a product we sell to advertisers or data brokers.
We don't publish claims without proof
Reports submitted without real evidence are rejected and never appear. Those that pass review carry exactly the status a human moderator gave them — nothing is quietly upgraded to look more certain than it is.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
What Exposing Scams is, how verification works, and where the mobile app fits in.
What is Exposing Scams?
Exposing Scams is a community-powered fraud awareness platform. It helps you research suspicious websites, phone numbers, payment accounts and crypto wallets, and review community reports so you can make more informed decisions.
How does Exposing Scams work?
You search for suspicious information in the app, review the available reports and risk signals, understand the evidence and verification status behind them, and use that to decide how to proceed. The app does the research; the decision stays with you.
What can I search for?
You can research suspicious websites, phone numbers, payment accounts and crypto wallet addresses, along with related community reports and context, where supported.
Does Exposing Scams automatically verify every report?
No. Submitted information is not automatically treated as verified. Reports may be reviewed and categorized based on the available evidence before a verified status is assigned.
What does “Verified Scam” mean?
It means a report has been reviewed and is supported by sufficient evidence at the time of review. It is a status based on available information, not a legal ruling or a criminal determination.
What does evidence strength mean?
Evidence strength reflects the amount and quality of information reviewed. Submitted material is not automatically considered verified evidence — stronger, more consistent information supports a higher-confidence status.

Can I submit a scam report?
Yes, through the mobile app. Every report has to carry at least one piece of evidence — a screenshot, a receipt, a transaction reference — and one submitted without any is refused rather than published. After that a moderator reviews it, and you can follow its status from My Reports.
Can I report incorrect information?
Yes. If you believe information is incorrect, outdated or disputed, you can flag it for review through the app so it can be re-examined.
Is there a community forum?
Yes. The app includes a community forum where people discuss suspicious experiences, share information and learn from one another. The forum lives inside the mobile app.
Is Exposing Scams free?
Core research and community features are available in the mobile app. An optional Premium upgrade adds more capabilities, and is managed entirely within the app.
What is Go Premium?
Go Premium is an optional upgrade that unlocks additional capabilities such as full evidence access, the AI scam detector, advanced intelligence, priority alerts and priority support. Premium is purchased and managed inside the mobile app.
Is there an iPhone app?
Exposing Scams is built as a mobile application. Use the App Store link on this page to download it once the listing is available in your region.
Is there an Android app?
Yes — Exposing Scams is available for Android. Use the Google Play link on this page to download it once the listing is available in your region.
Does Exposing Scams replace law enforcement?
No. Exposing Scams is an information and awareness platform. It does not replace law enforcement, regulators, courts or other official authorities. If you believe you have been the victim of a crime, consider contacting the appropriate authorities.

The lookup is the cheap part.
Checking an identifier costs nothing and takes seconds. Sending the money is the step you may not be able to undo — depending on how you paid, there may be nothing to reverse.
