Terms of use

Your account

• Use a real email address you control, and keep your password to yourself.
• One account per person. You're responsible for what is posted from your account.

Reporting scams

Reports help other people avoid being scammed, so they must be honest. When you post, you confirm that:

• it describes something that happened to you, or that you witnessed, as accurately as you can;
• you have the right to share the evidence and images you add;
• it doesn't include private details of individuals beyond what's needed to recognise the scam. For example, don't post a home address, ID numbers or someone's bank details;
• it isn't harassment, hate, spam or advertising, and doesn't break the law.

Published reports can't be rewritten, only added to with evidence, updates and business details, so readers can trust what they read.

Moderation

Our moderators may hide reports or comments, and suspend accounts, that break these terms or that we believe are false or unlawful. If you run a business and believe a report about it is false, email scamme2twice@gmail.com with the report's link and the reason. We'll review it.

Your content

You keep ownership of what you post. You allow ScamMeTwice to store, show and distribute it on the website, through the public API and in the ScamSafe extension, for as long as it's published.

Ads

Reporters and admins can show an ad beside a report. Ads must not be misleading, unlawful or offensive, and we may remove any ad. We aren't responsible for the websites ads link to.

The API and ScamSafe

The public search and lookup API is free to use within its rate limits. Don't try to get around those limits, copy the whole database, or use the data to harass anyone. ScamSafe shows warnings based on the same reports.

No guarantees

Reports are the views and experiences of the people who post them. ScamMeTwice doesn't verify every report and can't promise any are accurate or complete. A business with no reports isn't necessarily safe, and a warning doesn't prove a business is a scam. Use your own judgement before paying anyone. The site, the API and the extension are provided “as is”. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for losses that come from using them or relying on reports.

Changes

We may update these terms. The new version will be posted on this page with a new date, and continuing to use the site means you accept it.
