Welcome to the ScamWatcher website. Before continuing your navigation and participating in our community, it is important to be aware of the general terms of use that govern our platform.

Compliance with Legislation

Every contribution on our site, whether it be scam reports or comments, must strictly comply with the law.

Here are the fundamental principles to respect:

  • Avoid any racist remarks or incitement to hatred.
  • Do not promote any violation of the law.
  • Refrain from any defamatory comments.
  • Prohibit denigration, especially against competitors.
  • Do not share personal data of clearly identified individuals: the details you enter are intended to denounce fraudsters using false identities or professionals whose practices violate customers’ rights. At no point does this give you the right to disseminate the personal details of a clearly identified person.

User Responsibility

It is essential to emphasize that you are solely responsible for the content you publish, whether it be reports or comments. Our role is limited to that of a host, intervening in the moderation of manifestly illegal content.
