About Dodgy Scams
“The global platform for exposing online scammers, spam emails, and fraudulent solicitations — helping everyone stay safer online.”
DodgyScams.com is a public awareness and reporting website designed to help people identify, share, and expose online scams. Every day, thousands of unsolicited emails attempt to trick individuals and businesses into revealing private information or sending money. By posting examples of these messages, we make it easier for others to recognise scams before they fall victim.
This site allows users to safely submit the scam emails they receive — whether it’s a suspicious bank request, fake invoice, romance scam, phishing message, or any other kind of fraudulent communication. Submitted examples are automatically redacted for privacy and made publicly viewable so that patterns, keywords, and scammer tactics can be studied and reported.
How It Works
- Submit a Scam — Copy and paste the suspicious email text or upload a screenshot. You can add a short title or comment to explain what happened. No registration required.
- Automatic Redaction — Before publishing, our system removes personal names, email addresses, and phone numbers to protect your privacy and ensure safe public posting.
- Public Scam Archive — Each report is stored in an easy-to-browse list with searchable titles and scam keywords. Anyone can search to see if similar messages have circulated.
- Education & Awareness — By sharing real scam examples, we build a stronger defence against online fraud. Visitors can learn how scams operate and how to spot red flags early.
