Before you send money, invest, or share personal details, run a free scammer lookup. Type a name, email, phone number, username, wallet or website below and see every matching report in our moderated database — live results as you type.
Live results from thousands of moderated reports — ranked by relevance, tolerant of misspellings.
What you can look up
How to check someone in under a minute
- Type what you know. Start with their name, then try the email or phone number they contacted you from — scammers reuse identities across victims.
- Read the matched reports. Each result shows the scam category, country, description and sources so you can judge the pattern.
- Check the website too. Paste any domain they gave you into the scam website checker.
- No match? Stay cautious. Absence of a report is not proof of honesty — verify independently, and file a report if something feels wrong.

How does the scammer lookup work?
Type any identifier — a name, email address, phone number, social media username, crypto wallet or website — into the search box. Our system runs a ranked full-text search across every moderated scam report and returns the most relevant matches, even for partial or slightly misspelled names.
Is the scammer lookup free?
Yes. The scammer lookup is completely free, requires no account, and you can run as many searches as you like.
What if the name I search has no results?
No result does not mean someone is safe — it only means no moderated report has been filed yet. If you have been targeted, filing the first report takes two minutes and makes the next person's search successful.
Can I look up a scammer by email or phone number?
Yes. The lookup indexes names, email addresses, phone numbers, usernames, crypto wallets and websites, so you can check any detail a stranger has given you.
