Scams to fight

Who we are

A small team with a big mission.

We’re a small, independent team who got tired of watching people lose money and personal data to scams that could have been avoided with the right information. So we built the site we wished existed.

We’re not a big corporation. We don’t have a fancy office. What we do have is a genuine passion for internet safety and a commitment to keeping everything on this site free, honest and useful. Keeping things free means everything takes a little longer — but we think that’s a fair trade.

🤖 A note on how we work

We believe in being upfront with you. Like many modern publications, we use AI tools to help research, write and publish articles — particularly for covering breaking scam news and alerts as they emerge. This allows us to keep content fresh and relevant without compromising on the information that matters. All content goes through an editorial process before it goes live. AI helps us keep up with the volume of scams circulating daily so that you’re always informed.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes — completely. All of our tools, articles and guides are free to use with no signup required. We cover our running costs through advertising. We will never charge you to protect yourself online.

Our tools use industry-leading databases including Google Safe Browsing and HaveIBeenPwned, combined with AI analysis. They are highly capable but no tool — ours or anyone else’s — can guarantee 100% accuracy. Our results are designed to give you a strong, informed indication rather than a definitive verdict. Always use your own judgement alongside our analysis, and when something feels off, trust that instinct.

Absolutely — we’d love to hear from you. Use our contact page to send us details of any scams you’ve encountered or topics you’d like us to cover. Community tips help us keep our content relevant and up to date.

Common signs include: urgency or threats (“your account will be closed”), requests for personal information, suspicious sender addresses, links that don’t match the company they claim to be from, and unusual grammar or phrasing. That said, modern phishing attempts can be highly convincing — nothing is ever completely in the clear just because it looks legitimate. When in doubt, use our free scam email checker as a starting point — and always pause before clicking any link.

We do use AI as part of our publishing process, particularly to help us cover breaking scam news quickly and thoroughly. All content is reviewed for accuracy before publication. We believe being transparent about this matters — you deserve to know how the information you read is produced.

Disclaimer

The tools, articles and information provided on ComputerScams.com are intended as a guide to help you make more informed decisions online. While we use reliable data sources and advanced analysis, no result should be treated as a definitive or guaranteed verdict. Online threats are constantly evolving, and no tool or platform can account for every scenario. We strongly encourage you to combine our results with your own critical thinking — if something feels wrong, take that seriously regardless of what any tool tells you. ComputerScams.com accepts no liability for decisions made based on the information or results provided on this site.
