Disclaimer

Read this before relying on anything in the feed, in either direction — a published alert and an absent one both have limits.

  1. 01Alerts are reports and findings, not verdicts

    Scam Alerted publishes user reports alongside independently verifiable technical records. An alert describes what was reported and what could be confirmed from public sources at the time of writing. It is not a criminal charge, a court judgment, a regulatory finding, or a determination of legal liability by any authority.

  2. 02Severity levels are our opinion

    Critical and Elevated are conclusions we draw from the specific evidence disclosed on the alert itself. That evidence is published precisely so a reader can evaluate it independently rather than accept a label on trust.

    Severity can move in both directions as evidence arrives. A grade reflects the state of the record on the date shown, not a permanent characterisation.

  3. 03Absence from the feed means nothing

    A domain, wallet, or handle that does not appear here has not been cleared. Most fraudulent operations are never reported to anyone, and many run for only a few weeks — so the newest and most dangerous are precisely the ones with no record. Run the verification checks regardless of what this feed says.

  4. 04Identifiers and ownership change

    A domain named in an alert may later be acquired by an unrelated party, a company name may be reused legitimately, and a wallet address may pass through services with no connection to the operation. Where a change of operator is established, a dated note is added. If you now control a domain named here, contact us and that will be made explicit on the record.

  5. 05No professional advice and no guarantee

    Nothing here is legal, financial, investigative, or tax advice, and no professional relationship is created by reading this site or by contacting us. Information may be incomplete or out of date. Treat it as one input into your own due diligence, never as a substitute for it.

  6. 06We never charge and never recover funds

    This is not a fund-recovery service and no one working on it will ever ask you for payment. If somebody contacts you claiming to represent this site and asks for money to recover a loss or to remove a record, it is fraud. Report it, and tell us.

  7. 07Third-party marks and imagery

    Company names, logos, and screenshots appear only to identify the subject of an alert or to evidence the reuse of a legitimate business's material by a fraudulent operation. Their appearance implies no affiliation with, sponsorship by, or endorsement from those owners — in most cases the opposite, since the brand is itself being impersonated.
