🔥 SCAMNOT.ME: Checking suspicious links together

[Arhad]

Hey everyone.

Let's be real, the era of naive emails from supposedly wealthy heirs is dead and gone, replaced by a total nightmare. Today, scammers clone exchanges, wallets, and marketplaces so perfectly that even antiviruses can't tell the difference. Phishing, deepfakes, interface spoofing — the industry works like a Swiss watch.

That's why I want to share a project we've been working on — SCAMNOT.ME

And no, it's not another "magic button" that spits out a legal dox file on the owner of a shady domain. Let's clear things up right away so there are no false expectations: we don't do independent security audits, and we don't track people down by their IPs. We simply don't have the authority to do that.

What do we actually do? We gather information. But our real secret weapon is you, the internet users.

We built this around the wisdom of the crowd. The problem right now isn't that victims stay quiet — there are millions of complaints online. The problem is that they are completely fragmented. Someone posts on a random forum, someone else rants on social media, a third guy just curses at customer support. Scammers don't care because this info drowns in the noise when you search for it. SCAMNOT.ME takes these scattered pieces and turns them into a clear signal. Your short note today will save someone's savings tomorrow.

We've deliberately stepped away from fear-mongering — there's already way too much negativity out there. Our job is to gather data and real user reviews, give you the cold hard facts, and point out the red flags. The decision is yours.

No premium subscriptions — the tool is completely free for everyone. Come check it out, throw suspicious links into the database and drop your reviews. Let's make life a bit harder for scammers.

It's always nice to see another platform that tries to protect newcomers in this field, but how are you planning to attract active users while also bringing this to the attention of your target audience?
^{- I've seen similar platforms that relied on users dying within a few months (even those offering incentives to active users), but I really hope this one has a better outcome.}

Thank you for your kind words. Building awareness of the site is a challenging task for us, as we are not professional PR specialists. As time and opportunity permit, we will open threads on various forums to help more people learn about the site.

I entered the forum's domain name and was surprised to get "Nothing found." I expected the service to search and analyze the domain data and provide a result, not just check if the domain exists in the database.

The idea is good, but it needs a lot of development, especially in how the database is updated.

If you see the message "Nothing found" it means that the database does not contain any reports about the domain you are checking. At present, the database contains only a small number of domains.

Our goal is to compile a list of resources that have been observed engaging in malicious or harmful activity. We do not assess domains based on their age or subject matter, because a new domain does not necessarily mean it is a scam.

The domain database is compiled manually, regardless of a website's age, subject matter or reputation. We deliberately avoid using public scam-site databases because it is not always clear why a particular domain was added. Relying solely on VT is also a bad idea, since many scam projects have domains with no negative detections.
