About ScamChecker.online
ScamChecker.online is an independent research project that documents how online scams work, so people can recognize them before losing money.
What we do
We publish detailed, plain-language explainers on recurring online scam patterns - fake job offers, delivery-text fraud, reward-offer scams, and similar schemes. Each page explains how a specific scam operates, what its warning signs are, and what to do if you have already been affected. Our goal is to be the clearest, most useful page on a given scam pattern, more practical than a generic warning and more current than an article written once and never revisited.
What we don't do
We do not accuse named companies of being scams. Our pages describe patterns and impersonation tactics, not verdicts about specific businesses. We are not a law-enforcement agency, a recovery service, or a legal advisor. We cannot recover lost money, and we never charge anyone or ask for payment to help - any site that promises guaranteed fund recovery for a fee is itself a common scam.
Who is behind this
ScamChecker.online is a small, independent operation, researched and maintained by a single editor focused on online fraud and consumer protection. We are not affiliated with any government agency, security company, or commercial fraud-prevention product. When we cite figures or claims, we link to the primary source - typically a government agency such as the FTC, law enforcement such as the FBI or DOJ, or published security research - so you can verify them yourself.
How we make money
This site is funded by advertising. We display ads through Google AdSense. We may earn revenue when ads are shown or clicked. Advertising has no influence on what we write: we do not accept payment to cover, omit, or alter coverage of any scam pattern, and advertisers do not review our content before it is published.
We disclose this because funding transparency is part of being trustworthy on a topic where trust matters. If that ever changes - for example, if we add affiliate links to security tools - we will update this page to say so plainly.
Corrections
Scam patterns evolve, and we sometimes get things wrong. If you spot an error, an out-of-date detail, or a scam variant we have not covered, tell us at our contact page. We correct confirmed errors promptly and note the update date on each page.
