Government anti-scam hotline

1326

Check before you get scammed.

Look up any phone number, email, or e-wallet to see if it's been reported by our community.

How it works

Three simple steps between you and a safer decision.

1

Search an identifier

Type a phone number or email address you want to verify before responding, paying, or sharing details.

2

We cross-check reports

Your input is hashed for privacy and matched against community reports.

3

Get a clear answer

See whether it's flagged, not flagged, or unknown — with a confidence level, never a guess.

Built to be trustworthy

Privacy, community reports, and honest answers are at the core of how we work.

Private by design

Lookups are hashed, so identifiers are never stored or exposed in plain text.

Fair dispute window

Every report gets a short grace period so the reported party can respond.

Community-driven

Reports come from people looking out for each other against scammers.

Fails safe

When data is unavailable, we say “unknown” — never a false “all clear”.
