Data Sources

ScamExposed explains what its assessments do and do not use, so users can understand the difference between a pattern-based signal and a live external verification.

What the checker uses now

The checker is designed to analyse information a user provides through rule-based heuristic patterns and guided questions. It may identify common scam-language patterns, risky payment requests, suspicious URL characteristics or inconsistencies that deserve independent checking.

What is not currently connected

Unless the result states otherwise, ScamExposed does not perform a live query of a domain-reputation service, WHOIS or domain-age provider, phone carrier/spam-report data, business registry, regulator warning list, social-media platform, credit bureau, law-enforcement database or payment-provider system.

Future integration points

Company, social-profile and investment/crypto modules are structured so a future reliable registry, platform or regulator data connection can be added without changing the basic user flow. A future integration must be identified clearly in the result, along with what it checked and any important coverage limits.

Use independent verification

For a high-stakes decision, find the relevant organisation’s official website or regulator yourself. Do not interpret any score as definitive evidence that an identifiable person or organisation is safe or unsafe.
