Why Scam Or Reliable:

After falling victim to several online scams in the early 2000s, René Ronse made online consumer protection his priority.
For over ten years, he has conducted in-depth research into consumer cybersecurity, analyzed fraudulent practices on the internet, and specialized in identifying risks and assessing the reliability of online services.

Today, he is recognized as:

  • Expert in online consumer protection,
  • Analyst of fraudulent practices on the Internet,
  • Specialist in digital compliance and online product transparency.

Building on this expertise, he founded the Scam Or Reliable website in 2012. Its goal: to provide a reference space where every Internet user can access independent, transparent, and rigorous evaluations of products and services offered on the web.

To make this approach accessible to as many people as possible, different versions of the site now exist:

  • Français

Objective of Scam Or Reliable:

The purpose of Scam Or Reliable is to support and protect internet users from the risks and abuses of digital technology. To this end, we are committed to:

  • Analyzing the compliance and legality of online offers and services,
  • Detect and report dubious or misleading commercial practices,
  • Highlight new forms of online scams,
  • Evaluate the products and services offered to consumers in a transparent manner.

Each analysis is based on an independent, rigorous approach and recognized expertise in consumer protection and digital compliance.

Thanks to its independent approach and rigorous research protocol, the site has established itself as a benchmark in the fight against fraud and for online transparency.

But it was in 2016 that the site enjoyed its greatest success and was finally able to reach a wider audience and really get things moving.

Since then, we’ve continued to work in this direction, always aiming to provide Internet users with more quality articles with relevant information that can help them form a more accurate opinion about a particular product.

Now, René has surrounded himself with a competent and passionate team, and has developed a powerful research protocol with the sole aim of providing fair information for all.

“Fair for all”, these three words are the first guideline for Scam Or Reliable.

That’s why comments are never censored, every question is answered accurately and thoroughly, and all requests are handled seriously and promptly — always in a spirit of mutual assistance, without ever asking for anything in return.
