Scope, in plain sight

One report, one price. That’s the whole deal.

A detective agency that tells you exactly what it won’t do is one you can trust with what it will. Every Scam Detective report is a one-time snapshot, researched at the moment you order it.

From the case files
A 'clearance sale' site had my whole cart ready. The $2 check scored it 91 — three-week-old domain, cloned product photos, no real payment processor. Closed the tab.
Dana R., online shopper
The audit surfaced four typosquats of our domain, two already collecting emails behind a copy of our login page. The takedown template got the worst one pulled within days.
Marcus T., founder, DTC skincare brand
I check every unfamiliar store before my parents buy from it now. Two dollars for a straight answer beats an evening of amateur detective work.
Priya S., the family's designated skeptic

Questions

Before you ask

How does the free preview work?

Before you pay, we run a quick scan of your target and show you the risk score, the verdict, and one representative red flag — plus the titles of the findings held back for the paid report. You only pay if you want the full evidence and action plan.

What exactly do I get for $2?

The Instant URL Check: a 0–100 scam risk score, a plain-English verdict (safe / suspicious / likely scam), the top 5 red flags found — covering domain age, impersonation signals, fake-store patterns, phishing markers, and payment red flags — each with evidence, plus a 3-step "what to do now" plan and a downloadable PDF.

What's the $15 Family Check Pack?

Ten prepaid instant checks in one purchase — $1.50 a check instead of $2. Paste up to 10 links (one per line) and every one gets its own risk score, verdict, and standout red flags in a single combined report. It's built to be giftable: run it on the links your parents forward you, then hand them the PDF. One avoided fake checkout pays for the pack many times over.

When should I order the $79 Urgent Investigation?

When real money is about to move — a wire transfer, a deposit, a big purchase, a too-good job offer. It's a deep, human-grade investigation with priority turnaround: domain and hosting history, the operator trail, cross-checks against known scam networks and complaint records, and 8–12 evidence-backed findings instead of the top 5. Comparable investigations run $249+ elsewhere; a single avoided transfer usually covers it many times over.

What does the $29 Brand Impersonation Audit include?

A researched report of lookalike domains, typosquats, and copycat sites impersonating your brand — each with concrete evidence and a risk rating — plus a ready-to-send takedown-request email template and a 3-step action plan. Delivered as an on-screen report and a PDF.

How fast is delivery?

The free preview appears in under a minute. After payment, the full researched report is typically ready within a few minutes — you'll get an order page link immediately and an email when it's done.

Do you monitor continuously or execute takedowns?

No — and we're upfront about it. Every report is a one-time snapshot. We don't do continuous monitoring, real-time feeds, or APIs; we don't execute takedowns (we give you the template to send yourself); and we don't give legal advice. We never sell fund recovery — anyone who guarantees it is scamming you twice.

Is this a subscription?

Never. Every product is a one-time purchase: $2 per URL check, $15 for a 10-check Family Pack, $29 per brand audit, $79 per urgent investigation. Run one check or fifty — you only ever pay for the checks you run.
