Scams & Schemes
Why a Revenue Screenshot Does Not Prove Profit
A $30,000 sales screenshot can be genuine while the business behind it barely breaks even. Here is what the number leaves out and what stronger evidence looks like.
Scams & Schemes
Schemes that take your money, how they work, and a way to check a website before you pay.
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 when it first appeared online
- France’s AMF list of unauthorised financial sites
- Whether TGK has investigated it
Facts, not verdicts
Each source shows one of three states:
- Checked
- Not run
- Temporarily unavailable
No record found doesn’t mean safe.
Step 2
Check the licence
A clean record isn’t a licence. If someone is taking your money to trade or invest, check them on the official register for your country.
