About ScamLens

ScamLens is a crypto scam education site. This page covers four things: what is on the site, who signs the articles, where the income comes from, and how to get in touch if you find an error.

What the site covers

  • The Scam Field Guide: each page covers one kind of crypto scam, how to recognize it and what to do if you have already run into it.
  • The guides: what to do and where to report after a scam, how to tell whether an exchange is legitimate, and longer explanations of fake police calls, task scams, money-mule jobs and pig butchering.
  • The tools: a scam self-check, a domain checker, a compound return calculator and a safety checklist.

ScamLens is not a security company. It does not offer fund recovery, legal or investment services, has no paid content, and does not send readers direct messages. If someone messages you, charges you, offers to act for you or promises to recover funds in the name of ScamLens, that is not this site.

Who signs the articles

All articles are signed "ScamLens Editorial", with no individual names. The editorial team chooses the topics, writes the articles and checks them against the official pages linked in the text. The organizations whose material we cite are listed in the sources this site cites.

Where the income comes from

ScamLens takes part in OKX's referral program. If a reader signs up through an entry that carries our referral code, we may receive a referral commission. Which pages carry the code and the link is set out in the affiliate disclosure.

Contact and corrections

If you find an error, write to [email protected] with the page address and the sentence in question. Corrections of fact are recorded in the corrections log.

We cannot handle individual fund-recovery or legal matters. If you have already been scammed, the steps to take and the reporting channels for each region are in Scammed in Crypto? What to Do and Where to Report It.
