How to pick the right scam-check tool
Every scam starts with something you can paste: a link, an address, a handle, a screenshot, a phone number. The fastest path is to match the input to the scanner — paste a URL into the Website Checker, an EVM/BTC/SOL address into the Wallet Risk Checker, an X or Telegram handle into the Social Profile Scan. If you're not sure what kind of thing you have, paste it into the all-in-one Scam Checker and GACS will route it to the right engine automatically.
Why use GACS over generic scanners
- Crypto-native. Drainer-script detection, fake-exchange fingerprints, pig-butchering broker patterns, honeypot simulation — signals the generalists never had to build.
- Fresh. 100+ new community-confirmed scam entries every week from users in 50+ countries. Most scam domains are under 90 days old; GACS sees them within hours.
- Transparent. Every verdict shows the exact signals behind it — no black-box score. You can argue with the reasoning instead of trusting a number.
- Free forever. No paywall, no per-query limit. Funded by public donations, ad-free, with a published Free Forever Guarantee.
What to do if a tool flags something as a scam
- Do not enter any information and do not click anything else on the page.
- If you already entered a password, change it everywhere it was reused.
- If you sent money or signed a wallet transaction, follow the 15-minute panic guide for the recovery checklist.
- Report it so the next person who pastes the same thing sees the warning instantly.
