Scam news & latest scam alerts
The latest online scam alerts and scam news in one feed — fake brokers, phishing sites, wallet drainers, rug-pull tokens and trending scams flagged by the GACS community. Search any wallet, site, phone or token before you engage, and share what you find with the people closest to risk.
Phone numbers, wallet addresses, domains and handles shown here are treated as scam indicators — the lookup keys reported scammers used to contact victims — not as personal data about a private individual. Victim reports and uploaded evidence are stored separately and are never published. Privacy & data-use.

How the GACS scam alerts feed works
Every entry in this feed starts as a report — from a victim, a researcher, or one of our automated detectors monitoring on-chain drainer wallets, look-alike domains and rogue broker licenses. A moderator or the learned-rules engine confirms the evidence, assigns a severity, and publishes. The result: a continuously updated, dated, searchable record of active threats — not a stale list scraped once a quarter.
Use the feed two ways. Check before you click: run the URL, wallet address, phone or token symbol through the search above or the dedicated checkers below — if it's flagged here, walk away. Recognize the pattern: read a few entries in the category you're worried about (fake brokers, wallet drainers, romance scams) to spot the same playbook before it reaches you. Most scam losses happen to people who'd never seen the pattern before, not people who ignored a warning.
Frequently asked questions
How often is the scam alerts feed updated?▾
Continuously. Every verified report — from the GACS community, partner feeds and automated detectors — appears within minutes of confirmation. The trending section refreshes hourly based on report velocity over the last 7 days.
What counts as a 'verified' scam alert?▾
An entry is verified when at least one of: a moderator confirms reporter evidence, the entity matches a known fraud pattern in our learned-rules engine, or it appears across multiple independent reports with consistent indicators (same wallet drainer, same broker license fraud, same phishing kit).
How are severity levels assigned?▾
Critical = active financial loss with on-chain proof or regulator notice. High = strong evidence (multiple victim reports + technical indicators). Medium = single credible report awaiting corroboration. Low = soft signals (suspicious patterns, no confirmed loss yet).
Can I check if a specific website, wallet, phone or token is on the list?▾
Yes — use the search box above, or jump straight to the dedicated checkers: website checker for URLs, wallet checker for crypto addresses, the safe scanner for phone numbers and the trending feed for tokens and brokers.
What should I do if I find a scam that's not listed here?▾
Report it. The report form takes under a minute, accepts evidence screenshots, and pushes the entry into moderation. Confirmed reports appear in this feed and feed the learning engine that catches the next variant.
Are scam alerts geo-targeted?▾
The feed is global by default. Many scams (fake brokers, wallet drainers, romance fraud) target victims worldwide, so we surface everything. Filter by category to narrow to the scam type most relevant to your region or platform.
Why do some entries have a /scam/<slug> page and others don't?▾
Entries with enough evidence and traffic get a dedicated public page with full context, recovery steps and shareable verdict. Newer or lower-signal entries appear in the feed only until they accumulate enough signal to justify their own page.
Can I get notified when new scams are reported?▾
Yes. Enable push notifications above for the scam_alerts topic, or subscribe to the weekly safety digest for a curated Friday summary of the highest-impact entries from the past 7 days.
