How a Scam Detective case works

You bring a URL or a brand. We pull public signals, score what we can see, and write a case file you can act on in the next five minutes.

Instant URL check — $2

We parse the address, read public RDAP for domain age when it is available, and look for impersonation, phishing, fake-store, and odd-payment tells in the URL itself. You get a 0–100 score, a verdict, the top five flags, and three next steps.

Brand impersonation audit — $29

We generate lookalikes (typos, TLD swaps, digit substitutions, common affixes), probe which names resolve in DNS, rate each one, and attach a takedown-request template you send yourself.

What we do not do

No continuous monitoring. No real-time feed. No API. No takedown execution. No fund recovery. No legal advice. If a page asks you to wire money, talk to your bank — not to us.
