Scammers count on you not checking. So we check everything.
Press check and Scam Finder follows the trail, the way a good investigator would.
We read what they wrote
Checkout, returns, contact, the small print. Especially the small print.
1Exhibit A / Checkout Secure your order today. Payment accepted: gift card or Bitcoin only. All sales are final and no refunds are offered on sale items.
We look for who's behind it
A real business leaves a trail. We notice when there's nothing there.
2Exhibit B / Company record - Trading as
- Luxe Outlet
- Company no.
- Not found
- Address
- Not found
- Director
- Not found
We check the story adds up
A shop can claim anything. Its domain record can't.
3Exhibit C / Domain record 19 days old
Its About page says “trusted since 2009”.
We listen to everyone else
People who've already been burned, in their own words.
4Exhibit D / Elsewhere online Tracking stopped after two days.
Same here. Paid by gift card, nothing arrived.
Then, and only then, we weigh it
Good and bad signs, side by side. No conclusion before the evidence.

Don't take our word for it. Keep the receipt.
Every check ends the same way: an itemised list of what we found and where we found it.

RESULT
A summary of signals, not a verdict.
HIGH RISK
KEEP THIS. CHECK THE SOURCES.
Receipts, not vibes
Every line shows the words or record behind it, so you can check it yourself.
A band, not a fake score
“87/100” sounds precise and isn't. You get a plain result and the reasons for it.
Gaps stay on the bill
Anything we couldn't verify is listed, never quietly left off.
Scam sites look real. Until you know where to look.
- 1
A clock that never runs out
Countdowns reset when you reload. They exist to stop you checking.
- 2
A price that can't be real
A 90% discount on a new product is the oldest bait there is.
- 3
Pressure to buy now
“Only 2 left” is a line of code, not a stockroom.
- 4
Payment you can't reverse
Gift cards, crypto and bank transfers leave you with no way to claim it back.

- Step 2
Read genuine reviews
See what other people experienced with the company before you hand over your money.
- Step 3
Share your experience
Good or bad, leave a review of your own so the next person knows what to expect.
Every category has its own con
The line you'll hear
“Closing down sale. Everything 90% off today only.”
What to check in the reviews
- How old is the domain, and do reviews go back further than this month?
- Do people mention parcels actually arriving, and refunds being paid?
- Is there a real returns address, or only a contact form?
The score is only half the story
Looks ordinary
A normal spread
Mostly happy, a few complaints. Real companies have bad days too.
Read the 1-stars
Love it or hate it
Few people in the middle means something is off. Find out who the unhappy ones are.
Be careful
Perfect, and all at once
A wall of short five-star reviews posted in the same week deserves a closer look.
Three sentences can save a stranger
Says what happened
What was bought, and how it was paid for.
Gives dates
A timeline helps other people spot a pattern.
Explains the ending
Did it get resolved? How, and how long did it take?
Never arrived, and my refund came from my bank
Ordered a jacket and paid by card. Tracking stopped on 3 March and two emails went unanswered. My bank refunded me three weeks later.
It happens to careful people. Move fast.
First hour
Call your bank
Ask them to stop the payment or raise a dispute. Speed matters most here.
Same day
Save everything
Screenshot the site, order emails and messages before they disappear.
This week
Report it
Tell your national fraud reporting service and the platform involved.
When you're ready
Warn the next person
A short, factual review could stop someone else being caught.
Trust is the product. We treat it that way.
No evidence, no finding
If we can't point to where something came from, it doesn't go in the report.
We'll say when we don't know
“Not enough evidence” is a real result. A new or thin site is never shown as safe.
Results can't be bought
No company can pay to change its result, hide a finding or buy its way up.
Companies can reply
If a finding is wrong, a company can show us. Corrections are made in the open.
Questions, answered
Not sure about a company? Look it up.
If you've dealt with it already, tell the next person how it went.
