Low reputation score fixed

We found our website for America's Loan Company was tagged with a low score in the mid-fifties out of 100. However, we sent scam-detector.com verification showing our license to operate in Ohio, and they changed our score to 100 of 100. It only took three days to fix the issue.

Scam evaluations and reevaluations

Have used their resource previously to help evaluate potential risks from unrecognized sites. While looking up an unsolicited contact I realized I should also check my own site and sure enough it was red flagging because it's just a baby. Instructions on how to contact the team were clear and easy to find, and the requested external verifications all matters of public record. They updated and replied within 24 hours. I feel confident that other users will have the same experience.

co.nz Whois verification fail

Originally rated scam-detector a 1 star after discovering my website was considered a scam.

However, after contacting them and providing them with required evidence they got back to me within a day after correcting my rating

Just beware the is an issue with co.nz domains where the Whois information is not auto detected.

If you have a domain where it comes up with no registration date but these details are in fact visible in Whois then contact them and provide a screen shot of this

Hope this helps others.

514-777-1000 Montreal Canada Scam

This number played a significant role in Fraudulent Crimes from February 2015 to Present of January 2026.
Used for fishing scams and other Criminal Activities.
It shall also be noted, that ut went off the grid (Suspended) in July of 2025.

This Telus Mobility Number (514) 777-1000 should be AVOIDED and DO NOT have any conversations or dealings with these criminals. These number was used in the past decade to scam people in fake CRA / IRS SCAMS to Fake Realty Investments.
If this number was obtained buy you from September 2025 to January 2026 it would be in your best interest to change it. This number is tainted for the next 50 years due to people losing their savings over this number.

If NOT, this number can result in you being implicated with serious negative results.

This number continues to be used for calling up the Canadian public.

It is now being spoofed, please avoid owning this # 514-777-1000
!!CAUTION!!
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !

Speedy Response

The measure of any business is in how it responds when things don’t go quite right. The automated methods used by Scam-Detectors.com are generally effective, but can be susceptible to errors at times. In my case, it ranked our site as medium-low. Within hours of my submission of site descriptions and screenshots, Scam-Detectors.com responded and revised our site’s ranking accordingly—no pushback, just a note of thanks for contacting them and helping them improve the accuracy of their service.

That’s how a successful enterprise operates.

ScaledPerformance.com

"I recently noticed that our business was previously listed as an 'unknown site' on Trustpilot, which was frustrating as we’ve always operated professionally and transparently. I’m happy to report that Trustpilot has now recognized us as a legitimate business. The update makes a huge difference for our credibility and shows that Trustpilot takes verifying businesses seriously. It’s great to see our efforts acknowledged, and I’m looking forward to building a strong presence and engaging with our customers on this platform!"

I recently reached out to the Scam…

I recently reached out to the Scam Detector team regarding the trust score assigned to my business, Emilsa Tours. I have provided them with all the necessary documentation to re-evaluate our site and confirm that we are a legitimate business, not scammers. Our main goal is to consistently deliver excellent service and positive customer experiences. I truly appreciate the work the Scam Detector team does in protecting consumers, and I am grateful for their process. Five stars for their commitment to online safety!

This is a blackmail website

This is a blackmail website; if you want to have your website removed from their blacklist, you have to use their paid service.

This website needs to be removed from the internet.

This advised our business website as unsafe?!

This advised our business website shinekidsworld.com.au as untrusted and unsafe with low score while other scam check websites gave us high safety rating. We have been running the online business for over 5 years via a globally trusted e-commerce platform. This website site needs to justify their algorithms used. Although it welcomed owner to challenge their score, as the owner, I feel like they are lurking for our business and personal information. Hence how do I know you Scam-detector.com is legit business for us to provide our confidential document? If you need to me to proof ourselves, you should first enquire the business registration department of the originating country plus with other sources before making your judgement which has no proof but making negative impact to our business! You are very irresponsible!

Shady reporting tactics

I can only hope people don't actually use this website to look up my own, they do a poor job as marking websites that are legit. I did a few searches for other websites and all are marked as scams when they are legit business'.

My own website doesn't even have the correct information so can only assume their AI half asses the job as they match info that doesn't even belong to my website, then they require you to provide a bunch of your own information to clear your name. This seems a little shady to me.....

5-stars for taking your data? When the product is free....

It is interesting that the people leaving 5-star reviews are happy with how quickly this company took their data and "updated" their rating. Of course they did. Getting your data is what it is all about. When the product is free, YOU are the product. "Send us your name, your personal email address, your social media links, etc." Now they are in their database and can be sold.

I very much appreciate having this resource - it has helped me to know whether or not to trust a website. Also, I had an extremely low rating on my own business website and the company gave me a very clear and precise way of proving that my company is legitimate and not a scam - and it responded to my contact EXTREMELY quickly and efficiently. Great resource!

I reached out to Scam-Detector.com to…

I reached out to Scam-Detector.com to discuss the scam rating of my company. Since my site was brand new, it wasn’t surprising that it initially had a higher warning. However, I didn’t want this to deter people from using it.

Scam-Detector made the process of contacting them incredibly easy. I was very impressed by the amount of documentation they required to verify my identity and confirm that my company is legitimate. I didn’t mind providing so much information because it showed me how thorough they are in their due diligence.

I highly recommend using Scam-Detector both as a business owner and as a user looking for reliable information about products and companies.
