Reported scam websites

Reported scam websites

The GACS scam website registry is a free public list of domains that members of the public have reported as fraudulent. A domain is listed after three independent reports name it, and each listing has its own page showing the report count, the category of scam, and when it was last seen active. Anyone can search a domain here without signing up, and any listed site can contest its entry through an appeal.

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 an entry gets listed

  1. 1Someone files a report at gacs.app/report naming the domain, the type of scam, and any evidence they have.
  2. 2The report is scrubbed of personal details and matched against existing entries for the same domain.
  3. 3When three independent people report the same domain, it is promoted to the public registry and gets its own page.
  4. 4The entry is cross-checked against public sanctions and abuse data, and re-checked over time so dormant sites are marked as such.
  5. 5The listed site can appeal at any time; a successful appeal removes the entry.

Listings are community reports, not verdicts by GACS. Anyone listed can contest an entry through the appeal link on its page; a successful appeal removes it.

Questions people ask

How can I check if a website is a scam?

Paste the domain into the lookup on this page. GACS matches it against every reported website in the public registry, plus public sanctions and abuse sources, and returns a verdict in a few seconds. A clean result means nothing has been reported yet — it is not a guarantee the site is safe, so still check for a real company address, a working phone number, and payment methods that offer a chargeback.

Is there a free database of known scam websites?

Yes. This registry is free, public and needs no account. It lists domains reported by the public and cross-checked against sanctions and abuse data, with a separate page for each listed site.

What should I do if I already paid a scam website?

Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask for a chargeback or recall — speed matters more than anything else. Then file a report with your national fraud authority, and report the site here so the next person searching it sees a warning. Never pay anyone who promises to recover your money for an up-front fee; that is a second scam.

Can a legitimate website end up listed by mistake?

It can happen, which is why every listing carries an appeal link. An appeal pauses further escalation while a human reviews the evidence, and an entry that does not hold up is marked a false alarm and removed from the public registry.

Can I cite the GACS scam website registry?

Yes, with attribution to GACS (Global Anti-Crime & Safety) and a link to the page used. Aggregate counts and category breakdowns are published openly; nothing identifying a person who filed a report is ever published.
