Who is René Ronse?
Mr. René Ronse is Belgian, born in Brussels in 1972.
He completed his studies in Belgium and developed a passion for the Internet very early on, from its beginnings in 1994. He became a professional webmaster in 1999.
He currently lives in Templeuve, in Hainaut, Belgium. You can contact him here.
Why Scam Or Reliable?
For many years, he studied the mechanisms used by fraudsters, deceptive commercial practices, false promises, warning signs visible to internet users and the methods that make it possible to assess more cautiously the reliability of a website, a message, an offer or an online service.
His work is now centered around several complementary areas:
- the prevention of online fraud and scams,
- the analysis of deceptive practices targeting consumers,
- the identification of warning signs in suspicious offers, messages, websites or services,
- the popularization of risks linked to cybercrime and digital consumer activity,
- the provision of support tools to inform, guide and protect internet users.
With this experience, he founded the site Scam Or Reliable in 2012. His goal: to offer an independent, accessible and free space where every internet user can find useful information to better understand scams, spot traps and make safer decisions online.
To make this approach accessible to as many people as possible, different versions of the site now exist:
Objective of Scam Or Reliable:
The purpose of Scam Or Reliable is to support and protect internet users against fraud, deceptive practices, false promises and the risks linked to digital consumer activity.
To achieve this, the site is committed to:
- highlighting new forms of scams on the Internet,
- explaining the methods used by fraudsters to deceive consumers,
- helping internet users spot warning signs before clicking, paying or sharing data,
- detecting and reporting dubious or deceptive commercial practices,
- verifying the credibility of certain websites, products, services, platforms or offers when doubt exists,
- offering guides, tools and resources to help people respond more effectively to an attempted scam or proven fraud.
Each publication is based on an independent, cautious and well-documented approach, with one central objective: to provide clear, useful and accessible information to help internet users better understand the risks they face.
Thanks to this approach, Scam Or Reliable has gradually established itself as an information space dedicated to online vigilance, consumer protection and the fight against digital scams.
From 2016 onward, the site reached a wider audience and continues to evolve in order to offer more comprehensive content, anti-fraud alerts, prevention articles, risk analyses and practical tools designed to help internet users in their efforts.
René has also surrounded himself with consultants and contributors able to provide an additional perspective on certain subjects, while developing a research and verification protocol designed to strengthen the reliability of the published information.
“Fair to all”, these three words remain the guiding principle of Scam Or Reliable.
That is why testimonials, questions and feedback are handled seriously. Comments are moderated to preserve their usefulness, but negative experiences are not removed simply because they are inconvenient for a brand, seller or service concerned.
