User Agreement

Scope of this agreement

This agreement governs use of the Site at thescamcenter.com, published by TheScamCenter. The Site carries research, reviews and warnings about online financial fraud: unauthorised broker platforms, fake crypto exchanges, deposit harvesting trading applications, and investment groups run through messaging services.

Using the Site means accepting these terms as published at the time of your visit, and the edition in force is dated 2026. Obligations differ by kind of user, so the sections below are arranged by category, with general provisions at the end. Questions go to contact@thescamcenter.com.

General readers

What the Site is

TheScamCenter is an editorial publication. It reports on fraudulent and suspected fraudulent financial operations and explains how they work so readers can recognise them. It is a source of information and opinion.

No legal or financial advice

Nothing published here is legal, financial, investment or tax advice. It is general commentary addressed to the public. We do not know your jurisdiction, your documents or the evidence you hold, and no article substitutes for advice from a qualified professional. Reading the Site creates no lawyer and client relationship and no duty of care.

Accuracy and currency

The Site is provided on an as is basis, with no warranty that a page is complete, current or free from error. Fraudulent operations rebrand, migrate to new domains and reappear under new names within weeks, so a description exact when written may be stale later. Verify anything you intend to act on against a primary source, particularly a regulator’s register.

Acceptable use

Readers must not attempt unauthorised access to the Site, introduce malicious code, run vulnerability scans without permission, scrape content at a volume that burdens the servers, extract our material for commercial model training, impersonate any person or authority, or use published material to harass an individual.

People who submit reports or tip offs about a scam

What we ask of you

Reader reports are valuable and often start an investigation. In return we ask for honesty. Tell us what you know first hand and label the rest as what you heard or read. Send documents where you have them: screenshots, transaction records with sensitive numbers obscured, exact web addresses, and the handles used by those who contacted you.

What you must not do

Do not fabricate an account, report a competitor to damage it, or send material obtained unlawfully. A false report wastes our time and risks harming a business that has done nothing wrong. Where a submission was deliberately false we refuse further contact and may take the matter further.

What happens to your report

It is read and assessed. Not every report leads to an article, and we will not always explain why. Where we publish, we publish our own conclusions drawn from the whole body of evidence, not your report verbatim. We do not name you, quote you identifiably, or confirm that a person contacted us, unless you give written permission.

Rights in what you send

You keep ownership of what you submit. By sending it you grant TheScamCenter a licence to use, quote and reproduce it for our editorial work, and confirm you are entitled to grant that licence.

Named businesses and their representatives

This section is for anyone whose company, platform or brand appears on thescamcenter.com, and for the lawyers acting for them. We would rather hear from you than from a court.

The basis on which we publish

Our articles combine verifiable fact with honest opinion. Facts come from documentary sources: regulator warning lists, company registers, licence databases, court filings, domain registration records and archived pages. Where several independent reader accounts corroborate each other and that record, the pattern is itself treated as evidence.

Conclusions are opinion. When we write that a platform displays the characteristics of a fraudulent operation, that is our honest opinion formed on the facts set out in the same article, which readers can weigh for themselves. Scores and warning labels are opinion in shorthand: editorial judgment, not certification.

Right of reply: how to make one

Write to contact@thescamcenter.com. Identify yourself and the entity you act for, give the web address, and quote the passage you dispute. Complaints that an article is defamatory in general terms cannot be assessed; the more precisely you point at the sentence, the faster this moves.

Evidence to supply

Send what supports your position. Useful material typically includes:

  • Certificates of incorporation, current filings and evidence of beneficial ownership;
  • Licence documentation, with the register entry and reference number so it can be checked;
  • Written confirmation from a regulator that a warning was withdrawn, amended or issued in error;
  • Correspondence, contracts or transaction records contradicting a specific factual assertion;
  • Evidence of a change since publication, such as new ownership, management or business model;
  • A signed statement from a named individual willing to be identified as its author;
  • Any statement you wish published alongside the article, marked clearly as such.

Unsupported assertions carry little weight, and neither does volume of legal correspondence. One register entry verifiable in a minute achieves more than twenty pages of demand letter.

Response window

We acknowledge a request within five working days and aim to decide within twenty one days of receiving the complaint and its evidence. Where verification depends on a regulator confirming a register entry, that period may extend and we will say why. Where continued publication creates an immediate risk of serious harm, we escalate at once and may suspend the disputed passage while the review runs.

Possible outcomes

  • Correction. Where a statement is shown to be wrong, we correct it and publish a dated note so the change is visible.
  • Annotation. Where the dispute concerns interpretation rather than fact, we may record your position alongside our analysis.
  • Statement in reply. We publish a concise statement from you with the article, provided it is not defamatory of a third party, unlawful or promotional.
  • Update. Where circumstances have genuinely changed, we record what changed and when.
  • Removal. Where a claim is shown to be unfounded, the material is removed and we say so rather than deleting the page silently.
  • No change. Where the reporting is supported and your evidence does not displace it, the article stands and we explain why.

The process is real: subjects have used it and articles have been amended and taken down as a result. It is evidence driven, so commercial inconvenience is no ground for removal, and a threatening letter is judged by the material attached to it. Engaging with the procedure is not an admission by either side and waives no defence available to TheScamCenter.

Professional partners

Who they are

TheScamCenter works with independent legal advisers and lawyers who assist people in preparing and filing reports to regulators, financial authorities and law enforcement. They are not employees, do not direct our editorial decisions, and have no influence over whether a platform is written about or how it is described.

How introductions work

An introduction is made only when a reader asks for one. From that moment the relationship is between the reader and the professional, who sets their own terms, scope and fees. TheScamCenter is not a party to it, does not supervise the work, provides no legal services and holds no client money. Anyone claiming to represent thescamcenter.com in exchange for payment is not connected with us.

Obligations of partners

Partners must hold the qualifications required where they practise, describe their services accurately, never present themselves as part of our editorial operation, and never use an introduction to market unrelated products to someone already the victim of a fraud.

General provisions

Copyright and quotation

The articles, images and structure on thescamcenter.com belong to TheScamCenter or our licensors. You may read the Site, print pages for personal use, and link to us freely. Short quotations are permitted within the bounds of fair dealing and fair use, attributed to TheScamCenter with a link to the original page. Reproducing a whole article requires written permission, generally given to journalists and consumer organisations who ask at contact@thescamcenter.com.

External links

We link out so readers can check our sources, and sometimes to the platforms we are warning about so readers can see what is described. A link is never an endorsement, least of all in that second case. External content can change after we link to it and we accept no responsibility.

Limits of liability

Nothing here excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded, and consumers keep their statutory rights. Subject to that, TheScamCenter is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, business or data, for losses arising from decisions taken on published material, or for the acts of any independent professional engaged after an introduction. Where liability can be limited but not excluded, it is capped at one hundred United States dollars, reflecting that the Site is free to readers.

Suspension and changes

We may restrict or block access where these terms are breached or conduct is abusive, and may change, suspend, archive or discontinue any part of the Site. Publication is an editorial decision, not a service you have bought, and no page is guaranteed to remain online indefinitely.

Governing law

This agreement, in its 2026 form, and any dispute arising out of it are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the operator of TheScamCenter is established, whose courts have exclusive jurisdiction, save that consumers resident elsewhere retain any mandatory protection available at home. If a provision is held unenforceable it is severed and the rest continues in force.
