Take Part
Whether you’ve experienced a scam or spotted something suspicious, there’s a useful place to start.

Use Check a Deal on the website. Add a business name, social account, payment detail, website, message, or image to find matching verified evidence, warning signs, and practical next steps. Remove passwords and codes first.
Yes. Use Report a Scam to describe what happened and add the evidence you have. Your experience can help our team understand the method and, after review, help others recognise similar approaches. Dealforts does not recover funds.
Yes. Tell us where the experience happened, whether it started through a social platform, a website, email, or another online channel. Include the relevant messages, links, and identifiers where available.
We examine how an approach unfolds: how trust is gained, what pressure is applied, what payment or information is requested, and which details recur. Our review team uses these observations to compare reports and develop useful awareness.
Describe the sequence of events and include the platform, approximate dates, relevant identifiers, and supporting messages or screenshots. Do not submit passwords, one-time codes, or unrelated private information.
Your report enters a review queue. Our team examines the evidence and analysis, compares relevant details with other reports, and decides whether a public story can be approved. Submission does not automatically publish a report or prove an allegation.
Yes. Suspicious approaches and unsuccessful attempts can still reveal useful warning signs. Explain what happened and distinguish what you observed from what you suspect.
Yes. Include the details you remember and make clear where dates or other information are uncertain. Older experiences can still help us understand methods that appear again.
No. Reports are allegations and need evidence and review. Similarities between cases are clues for further examination, not proof that the same person is responsible.
No. A check provides observations and guidance based on the information available. Finding no matching report or warning sign does not establish that a person, message, or transaction is safe.
Dealforts focuses on scam reporting, reviewed community awareness, and understanding recurring scam methods. It does not manage shopping, shipping, escrow, or seller certification.
Choose your local community from the homepage. Use it to learn about suspicious approaches and help others recognise warning signs. Use the website report form when you want to submit evidence for review.
Contact hi@dealforts.com with enough information for the team to identify the report or concern. Avoid including passwords, payment codes, or unrelated private data in your email.
