Safety Tips

•Always DYOR (Do Your Own Research): Never invest based on hype alone. Check the team, audit reports, tokenomics, and community before putting money in.
•Verify contract addresses: Scammers create fake tokens with similar names. Always get the contract address from the official website or CoinGecko, not from social media posts.
•Check for locked liquidity: One of the biggest scam signs is unlocked liquidity. Legitimate projects lock liquidity for 6-12 months. Check on etherscan or bscscan if the LP is locked.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to spot a crypto scam?

Look for red flags like anonymous teams, guaranteed returns, no smart contract audit, unlocked liquidity, and airdrops that require payment to claim. Use this checklist to evaluate any project before investing.

What is a rug pull in crypto?

A rug pull is when developers abandon a project after raising money, taking investor funds. Signs include locked liquidity, sudden price crashes, and developers selling their tokens. Always check if liquidity is locked before investing.

How to check if a crypto project is legit?

Verify the team has public identities, read the whitepaper, check for a third-party audit, see if liquidity is locked, and look at the project's social media history. Red flags include newly created accounts and copied content.

What are common crypto scam warning signs?

Common signs include: guaranteed high returns, anonymous team, no audit, misspelled website URLs, pressure to buy quickly, airdrops requiring payment, and social media accounts less than 3 months old.

How to verify a crypto project?

Start with CoinGecko or CoinMarketCap for basic info. Check the team on LinkedIn. Read the whitepaper carefully. Look for audit reports from firms like CertiK or Hacken. Search for community reviews on Reddit and Twitter.

Where does the Crypto Scam Checker get its data?

No live feed required. The checker scores the contract, liquidity and holder answers you inspect against its red-flag list, so verdicts mirror visible evidence. All logic runs in your browser and nothing uploads.

How accurate are the predictions?

Risk scores summarize visible red flags with transparent checks, not market forecasts. Always verify audits and liquidity locks yourself. Educational screening only, never financial advice.

How often is the data refreshed?

No refresh needed. All math runs locally on the values you enter, so figures never go stale on their own. Re-enter current prices from your exchange whenever you want updated results; nothing is stored or uploaded. With Crypto Scam Checker, re-check figures before acting.

Is my data secure?

Yes. All analysis happens in your browser or through encrypted channels. We never store your wallet addresses or trading data. Checked projects are never logged anywhere.

Each flagged item shows an explanation of why it's risky and what to look for.

How to Calculate

Each red flag has a risk weight: High severity flags = 20 points, Medium severity flags = 10 points. The total score is the sum of all active flags. Risk levels: 0 = Safe, 1-20 = Low Risk, 21-40 = Medium Risk, 41-60 = High Risk, 61+ = Critical. The gauge shows the score as a percentage of the maximum possible score (100).
