A professional platform for identifying suspicious activity, sharing scam warnings and helping people recognise online fraud.
Our team reviews submissions and publishes findings when sufficient evidence supports publication. All reports distinguish allegations from verified findings.
A sophisticated network posing as a licensed investment advisory firm has been linked to hundreds of financial loss reports across multiple states. Victims report total losses exceeding six figures.
Multiple consumer reports identify a recurring seller identity linked to non-delivery of goods and fraudulent item descriptions across popular marketplace platforms.
Coordinated accounts using fabricated identities have been flagged by community members across multiple social media platforms. Patterns of behaviour suggest an organised operation.
Search our reports for websites, businesses, names or other information associated with reported scam activity. Search results are informational only — the presence of a report does not automatically establish wrongdoing. All submissions are allegations unless verified through our review process.
Published warnings are reviewed by our team. Status reflects the current stage of review — not a final legal determination.

Our platform exists because of — and for — the people who share their experiences to protect others.
I found a report on GypsyScamWatch before sending money to an 'investment advisor' online. The warning was clear and detailed. I have no doubt it saved me thousands.
After being scammed on a marketplace I was able to submit a report and warn others. It was straightforward and the team kept me updated throughout the process.
