check-scam.net is envisioned as a user-friendly web platform designed to help individuals determine if someone they are interacting with online might be a scammer. The core functionality revolves around users inputting information about the person in question, which the platform then analyzes using a variety of criteria and data points to assess the potential risk of malicious intent.
The platform allows users to easily and anonymously submit information about online scams they have encountered, such as fake shops, phishing messages, or other suspicious online activities, along with attachments (e.g., screenshots, URLs, social profiles).
An editorial team verifies the submitted reports. The credibility of the submitted materials, the authenticity of evidence, and potential links to other known scam cases are checked.
Verified and confirmed information about scammers is aggregated and stored in a central, constantly updated database. Each entry includes key details such as email addresses used, phone numbers, websites, usernames, the modus operandi of the scam, etc.
The website provides an intuitive search engine that allows users to search the database. It is possible to search by various criteria, such as the scammer's email address, website name, nickname, surname, etc.
Users who have been victims of a scam or want to verify a potentially suspicious person/website can use the search engine to check if the case has already been reported and verified in the database.
Emphasizing user privacy is paramount. The platform clearly state how the input data is used and ensure that personal information of the checker is protected.
