Crypto scam checker — verify any wallet before you send

Three steps: (1) Paste the wallet address or domain into the free GACS checker above — it screens it against 137,000+ confirmed scam wallets, drainer contracts, and victim reports in about 5 seconds. (2) Look for the structural tells: guaranteed or 'risk-free' returns, a 'tax' or 'clearance fee' demanded before you can withdraw, and pressure to move the chat to Telegram or WhatsApp. (3) If any one of those appears, do not send — no legitimate exchange or investment platform ever charges you to release your own money.

Paste the wallet address into the box above. GACS checks it against 137,000+ confirmed scam entries, community reports from the last 24 hours, known drainer-contract patterns, mixer/peel-chain signatures, and chain-specific heuristics. You get a 0–100 risk score and the exact reasons in about 5 seconds.

Pig-butchering deposit wallets, wallet-drainer contracts, fake exchange withdrawal addresses, 'tax clearance' and 'recovery service' scams, rug-pull token contracts, address-poisoning lookalike wallets, and SIM-swap drain destinations. It handles EVM (ETH, BSC, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism), Bitcoin, Solana, and TRON.

Free, no account, no per-query limit. It never connects to your wallet — you paste a public address or contract, the checker is fully read-only and runs on public on-chain and community data.

Common red flags: address appears on the community blacklist, has received funds from a known drainer/mixer in the last 30 days, is a brand-new address collecting many small deposits (pig-butchering pattern), shares a transaction cluster with already-reported scam contracts, or matches a poisoning pattern of a wallet you've sent to before.

Time matters. (1) Revoke any open token approvals at /revoke-approvals so the attacker can't drain more. (2) Move remaining funds to a fresh hardware wallet. (3) Report the address at /report so the next victim sees a warning. (4) File with IC3 and your local police — full 15-minute checklist at /panic-guide. Do NOT pay any 'recovery service' that DMs you — those are second-stage scams.

Explorers show transactions; you still have to interpret them. The crypto scam checker tells you the verdict directly — pulling in the community blacklist, AI heuristics, drainer-pattern detection, and victim reports that a raw explorer doesn't surface.

Yes — for full domains use /check-if-website-is-a-scam. For token contracts (rug / honeypot risk) use /honeypot-checker. For a single wallet address, use the box on this page. All three share the same blacklist + report database.
