Real scam examples

Fake Shopify dropshipper

Pristine-looking shop selling 'designer' goods at 80% off. Domain is 3 weeks old, photos are stolen from AliExpress, and checkout asks for bank transfer.

Cloned brand site

Looks identical to a real brand but the URL is slightly off (e.g. 'nike-sale-za.com'). Steals card details at checkout.

How to protect yourself

  • Pay with credit card or PayPal — never bank transfer or crypto
  • Reverse-image search product photos
  • Search 'brandname + scam' before checkout

Frequently asked questions

How does a scam website checker work?

ScamGuard analyzes the URL, domain registration, page content, link reputation, and known scam databases — then returns a clear verdict with red flags listed.

Can it detect fake online shops?

Yes. Fake e-commerce sites with stolen photos, impossible prices, missing contact info and dropshipping fraud patterns are a core focus.

Does it work on new scam sites?

Yes. We don't just rely on blocklists — the AI also detects scam patterns (fake reviews, copied templates, suspicious checkout flows) on brand-new domains.

What should I do if a site is flagged?

Don't pay, don't enter your details, and don't reuse any password. Report the site to your bank if you already entered card info, and report it to your local cybercrime authority.

Is the scam website checker free?

Yes — 3 free scans, no signup. Then affordable credit packs for unlimited checks.
