About ScamSlam

ScamSlam is a community-powered tool for reporting and looking up scam phone numbers and websites. Scammers depend on staying anonymous — a number or a site that no one has flagged yet. Our goal is simple: take that anonymity away, and warn the next person before they get caught.

Our mission

Scams cost ordinary people billions of dollars every year, and the same numbers and websites are used against thousands of victims before they are shut down. We believe that if reports were pooled in one open, searchable place — and pushed to the organizations that can act on them — a lot of that harm could be prevented. ScamSlam exists to make reporting a scam take fifteen seconds and to make checking one take even less.

How the site works

1

Someone reports a scam

They paste the scammer’s phone number or website, choose the scam type, and add a note. Fifteen seconds.

2

We log and rank it

The report joins our public database. The more times a number or site is reported, the higher it climbs the "most reported" list.

3

We forward what we can

Reported scam websites are automatically emailed to anti-phishing organizations, and every report generates one-click links to file with the FTC, FCC, and others.

4

Everyone can check

Anyone can look up a number or website before responding, and see if others have already been targeted.

Who runs ScamSlam

ScamSlam is an independent project, not affiliated with any government agency or company. It is built and maintained by a small team who got tired of watching friends and family get targeted by the same scams. We do not sell your personal data. The site is supported by advertising so it can stay free to use.

A note on accuracy

Reports on ScamSlam are submitted by the public and are unverified. Treat them as warnings, not proof. If you have lost money, report directly to the FBI’s IC3 and your local police.
