How GACS works
Five steps. Zero cost. No deposit, no wallet access, no signup required to check.
1. Paste an identifier
Wallet, URL, phone, Telegram handle, broker, or token name — anything you got from the suspect party.
2. Multi-source check
We cross-reference our blacklist DB, AI scam analyzer, on-chain heuristics, threat-intel feeds, and community reports.
3. Read the verdict
Severity, category, number of victims, evidence, and tailored next steps for your jurisdiction.
4. Subscribe to alerts
Get notified when new scams matching your filters appear — phone, browser, or RSS.
5. Report your own case
Filing a report protects the next victim. Reports are reviewed by moderators within 24h.
What we never do
- Ask for your wallet keys, seed phrase, or password.
- Take deposits or hold custody of any funds.
- Charge for scam checks, alerts, or reports.
- Sell your data, run ads, or use third-party trackers.
- Promise to "recover" stolen funds — that's the #1 follow-up scam.

Quick answers
GACS (Global Anti-Crime & Safety) turns a public scam report into a verified, searchable warning: you submit evidence, GACS verifies it, and confirmed entities are published to a free public registry anyone can search.
How does GACS work?
GACS works in four steps: someone reports a suspicious website, wallet, phone number, or social account; the report is checked against evidence rules; three or more independent confirmations auto-escalate the entity to the public blacklist; and the verified warning becomes a free, searchable page anyone can find.
Is GACS free to use?
Yes. Scam checking, the wallet checker, the public scam registry, reporting, and victim-recovery guides are free and require no account. Optional paid tiers add ongoing monitoring and certification courses.
How long does it take for a scam report to appear?
Reports are reviewed continuously. An entity is published once it meets the evidence threshold — typically three independent reports or one report with verifiable primary evidence such as a transaction hash or archived page.
Can a listing be removed if it is wrong?
Yes. Every public scam page carries an appeal link. Appeals are reviewed against the original evidence and a cleared entity is marked a false alarm and removed from active warnings.
