What we check

The details scammers can't fake

How the Scam Score works

Website age

Most scam shops are only weeks old and gone a few months later. We show you exactly how long a website has existed.

Security databases

Every check runs against more than 15 trusted lists of known phishing, malware and fake-shop websites — updated around the clock.

Fake brand detection

We spot websites that pretend to be PayPal, Amazon, your bank or a crypto exchange — even when the name is only one letter off.

Hosting & security

Where the website is hosted and whether your connection to it is really secure — the details behind the padlock.

Warning signs on the page

No company details, crypto-only payment, fake countdowns, 80% discounts and "double your money" promises.

Real people

Scam reports and reviews from our community — checked by our team before they count.

How does websurely.com decide if a website is a scam?
We look at the things scammers can't hide: how long the website has existed, where it is hosted, whether its connection is secure, how many people visit it, whether more than 15 security databases already know it, whether its name imitates a famous brand, and warning signs on the page itself — like fake discounts, missing company details or crypto-only payment. Reports from real people count too. Everything comes together in one easy Scam Score from 0 to 100.
Is the Scam Score always right?
No automated system is. The score is an estimate and an opinion — it is labelled BETA for a reason. Use it together with your own judgement, independent reviews and safe payment methods. Site owners can request a free manual review if they believe a rating is wrong.
Do I need an account?
No. Checking a website is free and anonymous. An account (username + password, e-mail optional) lets you write reviews and report scams.
What do the risk levels mean?
Low Risk (below 30): no major warning signs. Uncertain (30–50): not enough evidence either way. Suspicious (50–70): several warning signs. High Risk (above 70): strong indicators of a scam — avoid the site.
I was scammed. What should I do?
Contact your bank or payment provider immediately and ask for a chargeback. Change any passwords you entered on the site, report the site to the police and to us, so others are warned.
Can a business pay to get a better score?
No. The Verified Business program confirms who runs a website, but verification never changes the scam score.
