and reports on fraudulent investment websites, forex and crypto scams, and
other financial fraud. We publish research-based warnings so consumers can
make informed decisions before sending money.

trail review, victim testimony, on-platform testing, and pattern matching
against known scam templates. Each verdict is one of: Scam, Suspicious,
Legit, or Under Investigation.
I have lost money to an online investment platform. What should I do?
Stop sending money immediately, do not pay any "release", "tax", or
"recovery" fee, preserve all chat logs, transaction IDs, and wallet
addresses, report to your bank or card issuer to request a chargeback,
file a report with your national financial regulator and police
cybercrime unit, and submit the case to scamadviser.online so we can warn
others.
Can scamadviser.online recover my lost funds?
We are a publisher and consumer-warning service, not a recovery agent. Be
extremely cautious of anyone who guarantees recovery in exchange for an
upfront fee — this is one of the most common follow-up scams. We can help
you understand your options and point you to legitimate channels.
How do I report a suspicious website?
Visit our contact page and submit the website URL with as much detail as
possible: how you were contacted, amounts deposited, payment methods used,
and screenshots. Our investigators review every submission.
Are crypto investment platforms promising daily returns legitimate?
Almost never. No legitimate, regulated investment can guarantee fixed
daily returns. These structures are characteristic of Ponzi schemes and
collapse once new deposits slow down.
How often is the scam database updated?
Our editorial team publishes new warnings and updates existing
investigations on a daily basis as new evidence and victim reports come in.
