Report a scam

Seen a scam targeting South Africans? Help us warn others — use our private report form. A moderator reviews submissions before publishing a community warning. Please don’t include anyone’s passwords, PINs or OTPs.

Just want a second opinion?

Paste the suspicious email or message into the website checker, or add a screenshot. Email forwarding is being prepared and is not yet available as a checking channel. Use the report form if you want to submit it for review.

For brands and banks

If your organisation is being impersonated, or you’d like access to our threat feed for blocking and takedowns, contact us at hello@scamcheck.co.za.

Urgent fraud

If money has already left your account, don’t wait for us — phone your bank’s fraud line immediately (the number on the back of your card) andreport the crime to SAPS.
