GACS will never ask for your seed phrase, private keys, or payment. Always free.

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.

How to check if something is a scam using GACS

  1. Paste the suspect identifier

    Enter a wallet address, URL, Telegram handle, or phone number into the instant scam checker on the GACS homepage.

  2. Get instant risk score

    GACS cross-checks our scam database, AI risk model, blockchain heuristics, and live community reports.

  3. Read the report

    See category, severity, number of victim reports, identifiers, timeline, and recommended next steps.

  4. Share or report

    Forward the warning to friends in one click or file your own report so the next victim is protected.
