Terms of Use

Last updated: June 2026

By using Scam or Safe, you agree to these terms. Please read them carefully.

Educational use only

All content on this site is provided for general educational purposes. It is not legal, financial, cybersecurity, or law enforcement advice, and it must not be relied upon as a definitive judgement about any specific message, person, company, or transaction.

No guarantees

We work to keep our guides accurate and current, but we make no warranties about completeness or accuracy. Scams change constantly. The scam checker identifies common patterns only and can produce both false alarms and missed signals. A "Low risk" result is never a guarantee that something is safe.

Your responsibilities

• Verify important matters through official channels before acting.
• Do not paste passwords, banking details, ID numbers, or full card numbers into the site.
• Use the site lawfully and do not attempt to disrupt or misuse it.

Acceptable use

You agree to use this site lawfully and for its intended purpose, learning about scams and checking suspicious messages for educational insight. You must not attempt to disrupt, overload, scrape at scale, reverse-engineer, or misuse the site or its scam checker, and you must not use it to facilitate any unlawful activity.

Intellectual property

The written guides, design, and original content on this site are the property of Scam or Safe unless otherwise stated. You are welcome to read and share links to our pages, but you may not republish substantial portions of our content as your own without permission. Statistics and quotations attributed to third parties remain the property of their respective owners.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Scam or Safe and its contributors are not liable for any loss or damage, direct, indirect, or consequential, arising from your use of, or reliance on, the information provided here. You use the site and act on its guidance at your own discretion.

Third-party links and advertising

We may link to external resources, and we may display advertising to support the site. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of third-party websites or advertisers. Following an external link or interacting with an advertisement is at your own risk, and those sites have their own terms and privacy policies.

Severability

If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full effect.

Changes

We may revise these terms at any time. The "last updated" date above reflects the current version, and your continued use of the site means you accept it.
