Frequently asked questions
Is this platform free? +
Yes — checking entities, the identity check, the guide and reporting are free. No account is needed to search or report.
Who sees my report? +
Only operators see raw reports, contact details and evidence. The public sees aggregated verdicts and verified findings — never your story or data.
Is my report really encrypted? +
Yes. Stories, scammer details, emails and dispute statements are Fernet-encrypted before they touch the database, with a rotation-capable key system.
How is the danger index calculated? +
From verified reports only: complaint volume (log scale), velocity, severity, corroboration, recency, online complaints and review signals — weighted per the public settings.
What is the identity check? +
Enter a phone, crypto wallet, email or IBAN and we show which entities are linked to it. Only HMAC hashes and previews are stored — raw values are never saved.
Can I update or add evidence later? +
Yes — signed-in members can attach new evidence to their case from the case page. New files are emailed to the authorities and then deleted from our servers, like everything else (zero retention). The evidence ledger on your case page keeps the metadata.
How do I remove my data? +
Settings → Your data → Export my data, or Delete account. Reports survive deletion but your name and contact details are removed from them. Evidence files are already gone — they were deleted the moment the authorities received them.
What should I do if I was scammed? +
Open the guide, pick the country where it happened, and follow the action plan: your authorities, EU rights, chargeback and SEPA recall steps, and a printable dossier.
Is the 'live check' real? +
Yes — the wizard runs real-time queries against EU media, Hacker News, Reddit, RDAP registry and DNS, and every finding links to its source URL.
Who runs the reviews? +
Trained operators with two-factor authentication. Every verify, reject and resolve decision is audit-logged.
