Crypto warning checker: is this service flagged?

Run a warning check

The page first checks wording in your browser, then asks the CryptoRescue warning index for cached matches. The server stores only a hash and result counts for diagnostics, not your pasted text.

What this page helps you decide

• Should I send more money? If a warning or clone match appears, stop before paying any tax, validator, unlock or recovery fee.
• Is this the real company? Compare the exact domain, app name, email and support channel against warning-list clone language.
• What evidence should I save? Keep the warning URL, website URL, transaction hashes, wallet addresses, emails, chats and screenshots.
• Where should I report it? Use the official regulator or law-enforcement links below, then add exchange or wallet-provider reports when relevant.

Copy this before you search

Item	Examples to copy
Domain	cryptosite-example.com, app subdomain, login URL, support URL
Brand and company name	Service name, legal entity, spelling variants, translated name
People and contacts	Telegram handle, WhatsApp number, email, social profile, support agent name
Payment trail	Wallet address, transaction hash, exchange receipt, payment request text
Offer wording	Guaranteed return, withdrawal tax, validator fee, recovery payment, liquidity unlock

Five-minute check

1. Copy the exact domain. Check the host in the address bar, not the logo on the page.
2. Search the brand and company name. Try spelling variants, app names, support handles and the domain without https.
3. Search warning lists before paying. Start with FCA, CFTC, SEC/Investor.gov and DFPI for crypto complaints.
4. Compare the behavior. Seed phrase requests, unlock taxes, guaranteed recovery and remote access are red flags even if no warning appears.
5. Save evidence before confronting anyone. Keep URLs, screenshots, wallet addresses, transaction hashes, emails and chat IDs.

How to interpret a match

Result	What to do
Exact match on regulator list	Stop sending funds. Save the warning URL and all evidence. Treat the service as high risk.
Similar name or clone warning	Check domain spelling, company registration claims and support channels. Do not rely on logo or chat messages.
No match found	Not a safety approval. Continue checking official domains, status pages, wallet prompts, fees and user reports.
Only social complaints found	Treat as a signal. Look for stronger sources before making public accusations or additional payments.
Recovery agent asks for fee or seed phrase	Stop. This is a high-risk pattern even if the name is not on a warning list yet.

What to open next

What you have	Best next step	Open
Suspicious domain or brand	Run the checker, then compare the exact spelling against clone-domain and service-profile pages.	open
Known exchange name	Open the exchange status monitor and the relevant service profile before trusting a support message.	open
Wallet address or transaction hash	Use the transaction lookup router and save explorer URLs before reporting.	open
Recovery offer after a loss	Read the recovery-scam explainer and avoid advance fees, seed phrases and remote access.	open
Evidence already exists	Build a clean incident file before chats, domains or public pages disappear.	open

If you already sent money

• Do not pay a second fee, tax, validator charge, recovery deposit or unlock payment.
• Write a timeline: first contact, website, deposit, withdrawal block, support messages and every payment request.
• Save transaction hashes, wallet addresses, exchange receipts, emails, screenshots and profile URLs.
• If a wallet seed phrase or private key was exposed, treat the wallet as compromised and protect remaining assets from a clean device.
• Report through official channels such as IC3, relevant regulators, exchanges and abuse-reporting platforms.

Important limit

No warning list is complete or real-time. A new scam, clone domain or fake recovery service may not appear in official lists yet. Treat this page as one safety check, not as a final approval system.
