Is this scam checker available near me?

Yes — this scam checker runs entirely online, so it works the same in every country, with no local office and no signup. It checks any website, phone number, crypto wallet, email or social handle against 410,000+ scam operations reported from 100+ countries.

How do I report a local scam after checking it here?

If this check flags a scam, report it to GACS free so the next person nearby is warned. Then file with your national authority: FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) and the FBI's IC3 (ic3.gov) in the US, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre in Canada, Report Fraud in the UK, Scamwatch in Australia, or your national consumer protection authority in the EU. If money moved, call your bank first.

Does the checker work on international numbers and websites?

Yes. Scams cross borders, so the registry is global: it covers international phone numbers, foreign websites, crypto wallets and social handles in any language. The site is available in English, Spanish and Chinese, with instant translation for other languages.
