How to Verify a Company, Person, or Domain Before You Trust
1 Step: Search
2 Step: Results
If the system finds a match, it will show results sorted by how closely they match your query. The best matches appear at the top; similarity decreases as you scroll. We recommend reviewing several results, especially when you’re dealing with common names or incomplete data.

3 Step: Case details & safe communication
Clicking a result opens a report with all available information we’ve collected and processed. Some sensitive fields may be blurred for legal and safety reasons. You can comment on a case and discuss it with other victims. Please maintain maximum anonymity: don’t share your real name, personal phone numbers, or any details that could identify you. Communicate only on the platform. Don’t trust anyone who asks you to move to private messages or share your phone number—reported individuals may also be monitoring the page.
Our system automatically links cases that share the same identifiers (e.g., email, name, phone number, domain). You can navigate those connections and explore related cases.
