Crypto Security Center

Crypto scam checker

Paste the link, message or address you were sent. We match it against the fraud patterns that recur across crypto scams and explain what each match means.

This check runs locally in your browser. What you paste is never transmitted or stored.

Cyber Security Space will never ask for your private key or recovery phrase. Only enter a public wallet address. Public addresses are read only — nothing here can move funds or sign a transaction.

Rules that hold every time

  • Nobody legitimate ever needs your recovery phrase. Not support, not a developer, not a verification step.
  • Support does not contact you first. Real support responds to tickets you opened; it does not message you unprompted.
  • Urgency is the tactic. Deadlines, "migrate now", "your wallet is at risk" — pressure exists to stop you checking.
  • Guaranteed returns do not exist. Doubling schemes and fixed daily percentages are the oldest pattern in the category.
  • Type domains yourself. Do not follow links from messages, adverts or search results to anything holding your funds.

Questions

Frequently asked

Does this tell me definitively whether something is a scam?
No. It identifies the recognised patterns present in what you paste — the tactics that appear again and again in crypto fraud. Absence of patterns is not proof of legitimacy, and we never present it as one.
Is what I paste sent anywhere?
No. This check runs entirely in your browser. The text never leaves your device and nothing is stored or logged.
Someone is asking for my recovery phrase. Is that ever legitimate?
Never, under any circumstances. No support team, no wallet developer, no exchange and no giveaway needs your recovery phrase or private key. Anyone who asks is trying to take your funds, without exception.
What should I do if I already interacted with it?
Check your token approvals immediately and revoke anything you do not recognise. If you entered a recovery phrase anywhere, treat that wallet as permanently compromised: create a new wallet on a clean device and move what remains.

Important

Cyber Security Space provides automated security analysis based on available blockchain and threat intelligence data. Results may be incomplete or inaccurate and should not be treated as a guarantee of safety, financial advice, or investment advice. This score reflects the security signals currently detected. A low-risk score does not guarantee that a wallet or transaction is safe. Pattern matching cannot confirm that something is safe. Always verify through official channels you found yourself.
