scam-detector.com <----SCAM
I have utilized this site for reviews on multiple companies, most recently today. I have also noticed a pattern in which they give sites a low score indicating they are a risk to users, but if you look at the details of their analysis, there is no reason for the site to receive a low score. By their own criteria, the site has passed and should be listed as safe for users, but they score it low and label it risky anyway. This is definitely a deceitful business practice and actually a scam in and of itself! They offer services and assistance for companies to improve their scores on the site. That means they are giving sites low scores and calling them risky even though there is no valid reason to do so according to their own data, and then charging those companies a fee to improve their score on the site! Sounds like the mob extorting "protection" money out of businesses except instead of protection this is reputation and trustworthiness they are paying to regain. Loss of either or both will prohibit a new, small company from being able to grow and gain consumer trust. Unless they first pay the scam artists at scam-detector.com to improve their score.
Scam-Detector.com is a scam itself!
Scam-Detector.com is engaging in deceptive practices, exploiting both new, legitimate businesses and unsuspecting visitors. They use scare tactics to manipulate users into purchasing subscriptions, falsely labeling genuine websites as potential scams. This is a predatory scheme designed to profit from fear and misinformation. Here is their scam message on their website scam-detector.com involving a 'hidden' subscription (making money off visitor's fear they themselves created! ) Note: they will probably remove it after they read all these bad reviews about them and find another tactic to get payment from people using their 'scare tactics' :
How To Remove Your Information From the Internet
Whether you like it or not, unfortunately, the Internet has all your personal information stored. How did that happen? Every time you visit a simple site and accept cookies, consent to their forms, or download an app, unscrupulous data brokers collect not just your phone number, name, AND address. They also sell this to third parties, which creates a $1 billion industry a year. Your collected personal data is used by buyers to send you never-ending spam emails, targeted ads, and, of course, telemarketing calls. Crooks use all your data without remorse.
We can help. Many people have asked us about how to remove your personal information from the Internet. If you want your data deleted entirely from the online world, contact our official partners at Incogni immediately. This legitimate data privacy tool works on your behalf to officially require a ton of online brokers to remove your data.

That page is not a scam-detector
That page is not a scam-detector, they are scammers themselves. They give a lot of websites a low rating and then blackmail them into paying money so that your page won't appear there. I have reported them to Google.
I specifically entered several pages there that I know 100% are not scammers, but they show that they are.
Fraudulent Misrepresentation
I was just informed by a friend that my web page is listed as a high risk scam by an app 'Scam Detector Validator'. It ranks my web page as very low ranking of 13.4/100.
These people don't even know me or my business and criticise me. I have had a good reputation in the shipping industry for many years.
I believe it is an attempt to drag people into some form of scam so I would advise that all should ignore and avoid it like the plague!

This site is using deceitful practices…
This site is using deceitful practices by giving many new or smaller businesses a very low score, then requesting these business to pay a certain amount of money to be removed from this list.
I am not sure how this can be legal?
Just an additional side note: If your store is showing up on this page, you might want to submit a complaint to Google: How do I complain about a website to Google?

Very smooth process to verify your business. As long as you hand in the right documents and proof things will go well. I am more than happy with their brilliant customer service!
Damages your Business Without Fact Checking
Be Alerted ! As a multiple business owner since 1990, I verified all our domains through this app. We are Recognized and Accredited by Reputable Third Parties, seems to be that this app doesn't care or check more than a random AI-bot scan of someone's website. They want to collect your Information for a better ranking on their site, they publish you in a low ranking so that you contact them to trade your vulnerable Data, what a nonsense is this?
What a shame on you scamdetector app, not a single domain of ours was rated higher than 40%, this is ridiculously low.
Actually this is Alarming for Well Established Businesses with a 4.8 stars client reputation. They damage you on beforehand by not communicating and not proper checked Information. Even the Domains we hold that NOT actually have a Live Website, we just hold these to protect our own Business Names from Pirating.
These Domain have Very Poor ratings too, <30/100, Domains who not have a website connected, can you imagine, this should not be possible at all!?
We became even more curious after checking ourselves, we checked our competition and other well reputable brands, and guess what??
None of them had 100/100 rating on this website, the best where around 50-60/100. This Made us scratch on our heads and dig a little deeper.
Basically what companies like this do, is try and gather your information in a bit sneaky way, your information is none of their business, who are they, do they identify themselves to you, are they selling the free collected info, your information to other Affiliate Marketeers? Are they just Internet Cowboys who make money with affiliate links and collecting information (only god knows what they really do with your information), fxce bxxk had to pay $263million and Euro1.2Billion in fines, breaching data in the past. And we should send our vulnerable data to "unknown consumer protectors" to crank up our rating on their website?
New Customers and Clients can check credibility of companies in many ways, and better not use sites like this, No Fact checking scanners like these!
Only the companies who send info get 100% rating immediately, does that not sound a little.......
For us, a website like this has RED ALERT ! Ask yourself what stranger website company, who is Not buying any of your products and has No Business with you, collects your information based on a bad rating, created by themself, and not fact checked by anyone else, without permission, and on beforehand.
We think that this is illegal btw.
One can't make negative or poor publicity about someone else businesses without fact checking and consulting the business in question, expose to third parties, right!
What are your thoughts after reading our review, make Sense to you all?
Published Information is Not Cross checked before Publishing
The Information they are Publishing is NOT Cross Checked and NOT based on Real Facts.
- This is an affiliate business website, trying to sell products through clicks.
-They Publish Very Poor Ratings on Genuine Businesses to get more Clicks on their advertising at the Cost of Damage to Genuine Businesses.
-Our businesses have nearly straight full 5 star verifiable feedback from our clients, they do not check that.
-Just run a not human checked AI bot over your website and judge your businesses poorly, making prospects new clients doubt!
-If you contact them, they ask you to send evidence, to get your "bad rating" removed, this is the other way around, damage is done to your business before any checks are done by them neither been confirmed!
-They should properly check whatever they are publishing and make public, they shoot blanks scaring people, which is very concerning, conducting a business like this!
-Why rate businesses poor, whilst not doing cross checks, this is Very Concerning and Damaging the Good! They should contact Businesses what they are doing behind the businesses back, you can't judge without checking references properly and you certainly can't publish poor information on businesses you don't know anything about, didn't cross check, and force businesses to send evidence to clean out the bad score published by you wrongly and on beforehand!
-Excluded the real scammers you caught, of course!
-You can't run a standard uncontrolled AI scanner checks on businesses, and make them look negative, Not human checked, but judged.
-Not cross checked information, of businesses you do not know, on autopilot, generate negative ratings in public, we believe is Not a proper business model!
Trust they are right
Trust they are right, if you feel they are not just reach out to them and prove you own the website. Grate company.

Very prompt and helpful support in verifying our business. Thank you.
Rapid Response, Great Service!
At first I was angry my domain came up as a scam - clarkebrands.biz - but with 15 years experience in anti-fraud, it made sense to investigate further and I went from being angry to being thoroughly impressed with the logic. My thought was it made sense for consumers to research and it also made sense to ensure they were getting the best quality information that our business is legit. Thanks again!!
Untrustworthy, has malicious advertisements
They rated a scam site with loads of pop ups to phishing sites as 46/100. Their own website tried to redirect me to a site that my internet defender labeled as malvertisement. This scam detection site, therefore, is pretty scamy if they have scam advertisements, no?
Extremely Fast Response
We reached out to Scam Detector today (21-03-2025) regarding the trust score of our website, ibuypc.in. The team was incredibly responsive and professional throughout the process. They literally responded back within 30 minutes. They carefully reviewed our business details and promptly updated our trust score, ensuring a fair and accurate assessment.
We truly appreciate their dedication to combating online scams and supporting legitimate businesses. Their transparency, thorough validation, and excellent customer service make them a highly reliable platform.
Highly recommended for any business looking to verify and strengthen its online credibility.
I was able to very our domain and increase our score very easily
As a business owner I was able to verify our domain with the Scam-Detector team very quickly to increase out score from 66/100 to 100/100 after providing the suggested documents.
Thanks for the prompt action.
I have been using THIS scam detector for well over 3 years now
I have been using THIS scam detector every single time I think about buying anything on the internet for the past 3 years or more even, and almost every single time they show me that it wouldn't be a wise purchase, and they tell me exactly why and how they came to that conclusion. A few times, they have given the company a great score and said they were not concerned about that website or company, and they were right, I got what I ordered and it was a great transaction. So I checked a website that I had gotten from you tube last Saturday, and inadvertently I put in the wrong website when I checked them out, the one I put in was to hotmail for the payment (and that one got a 100 for a score, which was a true score!) rather than the company selling the product, but I was glad I caught that error, so I went back and got the right website, and sure enough, it was a bad idea to purchase from them! Then I went to the list of scams these guys put out there for scams on specific websites like facebook twitter, etc to see if this one was on there... and thats when I noticed they didn't have one at all for You Tube, so I contacted them to let them know what had happened with a transaction I had almost purchased from a You Tube related video and they replied back very soon and were glad to have my input, and now they are working on putting the needed connection for Youtube on their list with the other social websites too, in order for us to check on people's websites that you get from videos on Youtube as well! I was so glad I wrote to them about it then! I so appreciate these guys more than anyone can ever know! When I use their scam detector, it has stopped me in my tracks at considering a purchase from a not so good company too many times to count! I am so thankful for what they do! I just know they have saved me money and time and the headache of even trying to get my money back, hundreds of times over the years!! I don't ever buy anything from the internet until I check the website through scam-detector.com and never will in the future either. Without checking, I would be throwing my money down the drain probably 90% of the time or more! Thank you so much scam-detector.com, for saving me my money, my time, and the headache. I love you guys!
This is an essential service!
I was able to discover a supplier I was using was a total scam, and also checked my own URL. My score was very low. As a new online business owner I was horrified and immediately contacted them. They were very responsive and after reviewing the documentation I sent them, increased my score dramatically. Any legitimate business should be using this service!
An Exceptional and Essential Service!
An Exceptional and Essential Service!
I used Scam Scanner to check a suspicious website and also my own domain. Their system allowed me to avoid a potentially risky transaction thanks to a detailed and reliable analysis. At the same time, I was able to improve the credibility of my site by providing additional information through their platform.
The interface is intuitive and the results are clear, making their service accessible even to those with less experience in cybersecurity. I highly recommend Scam Scanner to anyone who wants to browse the internet safely. Thank you for this valuable solution!
Responsive
Discovering our score was initially low, I contacted Scam Detector to request a revaluation of our score. They responded promptly—within 12 hours—and, after reviewing the information I provided, our score improved to a good rating (I'm not sure why it isn't perfect as there is nothing scammy about our setup).
Ironically Scam Detector Can't be Trusted
Scam Detector recently reported information for our website incorrectly. They clearly aren't reviewing their results for even a basic level of accuracy. Their own site is plastered with ads designed to generate revenue. Their own website appears to be nothing more than a clickbate site trying to take advantage of people seeking information about a website or company. Ironically, Scam Detectors itself can't be trusted.
I used them to check out s site i KNEW…
I used them to check out s site i KNEW was a scam. They rated it a good business. Good company to stay away from. ScamAdviser is a better company to use in my opinion.
