What to do now
Scam-Proof in 7 Days
One short lesson a day on the scams that take the most money, with the five rules that stop most of them. Free.
What it checks
18 warning signs, from seed-phrase requests and "fees to withdraw" to Bitcoin ATM payment demands and fake recovery offers.
What it can't do
It can't prove a message is safe. Scammers change their wording. If anything feels off, stop and check with the company through its official app or website.
Where the signs come from
The patterns come from public alerts by the FBI (IC3), the FTC and FinCEN, and from the scams we explain in our guides.
This checker is for education only and is not legal or financial advice. A "no common signs" result does not mean a message is genuine. If you have lost money, report it at ic3.gov (US) and to your bank or exchange right away.
