Help improve it

Report scam domains and vouch for legitimate ones when you are confident.

A few practical tips

  • If a warning appears on a login or payment page, stop and verify the domain carefully.
  • If you are unsure, visit the company from a bookmark or a search result you trust instead of continuing.
  • Only vote when you are reasonably confident. Thoughtful votes make the system better.
  • If you want to vote, create an account and verify your email first.
