About This Bitcoin Scammer List

The table below is a live, searchable database of websites identified as Bitcoin and cryptocurrency scams. Each entry includes a risk score, detection date, and a summary of the evidence that triggered the listing. You can sort by risk score, search by domain name, or filter by scam type.

Bitcoin fraud has grown into a multi-billion-dollar problem. In 2025 alone, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center reported over $5.8 billion in cryptocurrency-related fraud losses in the United States. The FTC warns that crypto is the most common payment method in investment scams. Scammers operate fake exchanges, fraudulent investment platforms, phishing sites that clone legitimate wallets, and Ponzi schemes that promise unrealistic returns.

What You Will Find Here

Every site in this database was flagged by at least one of the following methods:

• Automated scanning — Our crawler checks domain age, WHOIS privacy, TLS certificate anomalies, and hosting patterns commonly associated with fraud.
• On-chain analysis — Wallet addresses linked to reported scams are cross-referenced against known fraud clusters.
• Community reports — Users submit suspicious URLs through our scanner, and confirmed threats are added to the database.
• Partner feeds — We ingest data from CryptoLegal and other intelligence sources to maintain broad coverage.

How to Use This List

Search for any domain you are considering sending funds to. If it appears here with a high risk score, do not transact. If you do not find a domain, that does not guarantee it is safe — use the scanner below to run a live check.

Staying Safe with Bitcoin

Never send cryptocurrency to a platform you have not independently verified. Check for regulatory registration with the SEC or CFTC, read independent reviews, and be skeptical of any site promising guaranteed returns. Legitimate exchanges will never ask you to send Bitcoin to "verify" your wallet. If you have already been victimized, follow our guide to reporting crypto scams.
