Frequently asked questions

How do I check if a website is a scam?

Paste the URL into ScamGuard. Our AI checks the domain age, registration, on-page content, link reputation and known scam databases — and returns a clear verdict with red flags.

What are the biggest signs a website is a scam?

A very new domain, prices far below market, no real contact info, only bank-transfer/crypto checkout, stolen product photos, and no reviews on third-party sites.

Will visiting a scam site infect my device?

Some scam sites do drop malware or push fake browser updates. ScamGuard inspects the page server-side, so you can decide before you ever open it.

What if I already paid?

Contact your bank immediately to dispute the charge or reverse the transfer, change any reused passwords, and report the site to your local cybercrime authority.
