Who we are

scamers.org is a nonprofit scam-intelligence platform. We run a public, searchable database of reported scammers, a scam-domain checker, and Operation Sunshine — long-form investigative dossiers built on court records, indictments, regulator actions and verified public reporting. Every dossier names its sources, separates convictions from allegations, and carries a legal disclaimer. Anyone named can request review through our I'm Innocent process.
