How do I check if an email address is a scammer?

Enter the email address in the ScamWarners lookup. It searches a database of over 46,399 addresses reported by our anti-scam community and shows whether that address appears in any scam reports.

What does it mean if an email isn't listed?

It has not been reported to ScamWarners. That does not guarantee it is safe — new scam addresses appear constantly. If you are suspicious, post the details in our free help forum for a review.

Where does the data come from?

Every entry comes from reports posted by ScamWarners community members, a free volunteer-run anti-scam resource operating since 2008.

How it works

ScamWarners is a free, volunteer-run anti-scam community.

This tool searches that database instantly — enter an email or phone number above to see whether it has been reported.

If you think you're being scammed: don't send money, gift cards, or cryptocurrency, and don't share personal or banking details. Learn the warning signs or get free help from our volunteers.
