About to Pay a Website You Don’t Know?

Paste the website of a shop, trading app or course. We show public records about it, each with its source.

  • Whether Google Web Risk lists the site
  • When the domain was registered and first appeared online
  • France’s AMF list of unauthorised financial sites
  • Whether TGK has investigated it
Facts, Not Verdicts
  • Checked
  • Not run
  • Temporarily unavailable

No record found doesn’t mean a site is safe.

Before You Pay Anyone

  1. Check the RegistrationLook the company up on the official register for the country it claims. A clean record isn’t a licence.
  2. Ask for Proof of ProfitA revenue screenshot shows money in, not what was kept. Ask for statements, not images.
  3. Mind a Young WebsiteA site registered weeks ago, with big promises, deserves extra care before any payment.
