About ScamEncyclopedia
ScamEncyclopedia exists to help people recognise scam patterns, protect loved ones, preserve evidence, and find official reporting routes — without falling into recovery scams.
Our mission
Scams are engineered to create panic, trust, secrecy, and urgency. They can affect anyone, regardless of age, education, or experience. Our goal is to make the patterns visible so people can pause, verify, and act safely.
We organise scam knowledge into a structured, searchable library — categories, sub-types, country guides, scripts, recovery playbooks, comparisons, and a taxonomy — so the right information is easy to find at the moment it's needed.
What we do
- Explain how scams work and the red flags to watch for
- Provide immediate action steps and recovery playbooks
- Help families protect parents, grandparents, and teenagers
- Point to official reporting routes by country
- Repeatedly warn about recovery scams that target victims again
What we don't do
We focus on scam patterns, public warnings, and education. We do not publish unverified private accusations against individuals, and we are not an emergency service, law firm, financial adviser, or cybersecurity incident-response provider.
