Scammer Lookup: Search Reported Emails, Phones & URLs

Paste an email address, phone number, or website URL into the box below. We will search our published scam alerts for any match. If we have seen that sender before, treat the message as a confirmed scam and do not reply.

A "no result" is not a clean bill of health. New scams appear constantly; we publish a fraction of all complaints we receive. Always combine a lookup with our scam-pattern guides before sending money or sharing data.

Phone numbers are matched on the last 10 digits. Emails and URLs are matched as plain text. Searches are not logged with personal data.

How to use this tool

  1. Emails: paste the full address (e.g. charity.donations@hotmail.com). Look-alike domains (e.g. arnazon.com) are common — search both spellings.
  2. Phone numbers: include the country code if you have it. We normalize to the last 10 digits so formatting doesn't matter.
  3. URLs: paste the domain (e.g. delivery-tracker.example). Skip https:// if you want — we strip it.

This tool only finds senders that have already been reported to us. If you have a fresh scam email or text, please submit a report with the sender details. Every report makes future lookups stronger.
