Scam Or Reliable - Fraud Alerts
Detect, understand and avoid new online scams

Welcome to the “Fraud Alerts” section of Scam Or Reliable, where we break down online scams to help you stay protected every day.

New fraud methods appear constantly: suspicious text messages, fake official websites, phishing e-mails, deceptive calls or misleading online ads. Our goal is simple: to inform you quickly and clearly so you can recognize these threats and avoid falling into their traps.

Methodology


  • Continuous monitoring of emerging scams through user reports, official platforms and consumer protection agencies.
  • Analysis of scam techniques: how fraudsters impersonate official services, exploit fear, or lure victims with offers that are too good to be true.
  • Identifying red flags: suspicious e-mail addresses, fraudulent links, alarming tone, inconsistencies in the message.
  • Practical advice and safety tips: verify senders, never click on suspicious links, contact the official organization directly, warn your relatives.
  • Guidance towards official reporting channels to help stop the spread of scams.


Each alert is based on verified and cross-checked information. We focus on clear, concrete and actionable content — no sensationalism — so you get reliable guidance whenever a threat arises.
