scam-detector.com Is a scam.

Their failure to verify information has led to inaccurate conclusions; accordingly, their statements and results should not be considered reliable.

Hidden scam within a scam reporting site.

I am a subscriber to their newsletter. They talk about working with legitimate bitcoin recovery companies. Since I lost a lot and even more to fake recovery scams I figured finally there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I filled out their form and waited to be contacted.
When I was contacted I gave them the necessary info and they went to work connecting me with PrimeShieldGroup. After a lot of discussion and what seemed like proper company verification emails I started to pay the fees required and the capital gains tax required because in the UK once the BTC exchanges into fiat the tax is due. I was in for 17k CAD then they disappeared.
I attempted to contact scam detector FOUR times now to see what company they connected me with. No response. They have two different contact emails and I send two to each over the course of a month. I have no answers and beside my initial loss I’m now out more because they connected me with a scam company. It seams scam detector has set up the perfect scam for themselves.

Misleading Libelous Scary Language

They use boiler plate templates language to misrepresent the nature of websites, using harmful language ("The algorithm detected high-risk activity related to phishing, spamming, and other factors noted in the Suspicious. Unsafe. Doubtful. tags above. Long story short, we recommend staying away from this website. But let's explain in more detail.") when it is patently false. Further more they offer ZERO proof of their claims and misguide people into believe the site is riddled with issues.

Their business model is extortion

Their business model is extortion. They give your website a poor rating, you start receiving warnings from your customers, and Scam Detector invites you to pay to get a good rating. It's a total abuse.

I had a great experience with their team. They helped me identify and fix several issues that were affecting my website’s score and performance. Their explanations were clear, and they provided practical solutions that improved the overall quality of my site.

What I appreciated most was their responsiveness and professionalism. Thanks to their guidance, my website now performs much better and the technical problems have been resolved.

I definitely recommend their services to anyone who needs help improving their website.

Great website

I had my site listed as a potential scam, but after reaching out to Scam Detector staff and explaining what the site is all about, I had my site re-evaluated in just a few hours. They were also very friendly.

How ironical scam-detector is scam

How ironical scam-detector is nothing but scam. They rank my website 16.7/100 because "The algorithm flagged its seemingly suspicious success, even with a newly registered domain". The change of domain was long overdue because of the success of the business. At the same time, they rank our main competitors 80.8/100 with the reason "Could not retrieve website content". Their "Explaining Our Analytical Approach" section is generic and useless.

They place misinformation on the web and personal data. They say my site is fraud and that is defamation. I checked other scam detection sites and they have high confidence that I am legitimate. They need to be reported to BBB as they request multiple things as proof they are more than likely a scam themselves. They are not even listed on BBB and make these judgments about people. Ok folks based on running them through other scam checkers websites their site redirects to btloader.com. Bt loader is from google Btloader (or Batloader) is a type of malicious software (malware) used by cybercriminals to download and install further malware, such as ransomware or remote management tools, onto a victim's computer. It often targets enterprise environments, stops security software, and escalates privileges to gain control. I have reported them to google and the federal trade commission. Trust pilot should consider banning this site

My shop k9shop.no had a low score and I knew this was not right so I contacted them. In less than a day and after looking at my documentation they corrected it and now I get the score I deserve.
The best thing was the email I received the next day thanking me for the contribution from Selma - an exclusively positive experience.

Another AI Failure

Garbage.

This site is a reputation destruction site.

I reviewed my business site and it returned a very low score. This despite the fact that the site does not ask for anyone to enter any information OR ask for any money.

It is purely a presentation of information, information which does provide details the report says it doesn't.

Including director/owner contact details company registration details (including a link to see details of the company available on the Companies House website (official UK Government site)), and the VAT registration number.

The report clearly shows that whoever "trained" the sites Artificially Stupid agent knew nothing about UK businesses (or perhaps any business).

This application shows the major flaws in the so called miracle of AI.

Professional and Fair Service

Our website fresh-store.eu was initially rated incorrectly, which understandably raised concerns for us as a legitimate business. After we contacted Scam-Detector and provided official company documents and proof of legitimacy, their team reviewed everything carefully and updated our score to 100/100.

We truly appreciate their professional approach, willingness to verify the facts, and fast response. It shows that they take accuracy seriously and are open to correcting mistakes when provided with proper documentation.

Scam-Detector is a very useful service for identifying fake shops and protecting customers online. Thank you for handling our case fairly and transparently.

This company is beyond ridiculous and absolutely slanderous. It doesn't make any sense!!! I have just noticed that this slanderous company gives our website a medium to low score without giving any evidence of their slanderous claim. It claims that we have proximity to scam websites which can be as far from truth as possible, again without providing any evidence of that. They are so absolutely ridiculous and untrustworthy that they even claim that our telephone number and thus our company is in Cayman islands, which is an absolute annoying lie since as anyone can very easily verify, we are located in Greece since the stablishment of our sewing supplies business in 1971 and we never in our long history we had any business presence or activity in the Cayman Islands. They even seem to doubt our long standing as suppliers of the Fashion and Apparel sector and specially of fur and leather manufacturers having served thousands ofsuch businesses for more than 50 year!! I cannot really understand what is the real purpose of their dispeakable, most definitely inacurate slanderous claims but ther is no doubt that scam-detector.com is so scam itself that I am wondering how they are allowed to operate!!

Checking our legitimacy

We contacted Scam Detector because we had a low rate. We had a very good contact with their support team, they reacted within a day, being both human and professionnal.
