No Cheap Tricks. Just Honest.
We are a free tool with no ads and no funding - so we run on Cloudflare’s free tier. Here is exactly why, and why that is a reason to trust us, not the opposite.
The Straight Answer
Yes - our address is checkscams.pages.dev, a free Cloudflare subdomain, not a custom domain like .com. The reason is simple and we are not hiding it: Scam Check costs nothing to use, shows no ads, and has no funding, so it costs nothing to run. The moment we added that hosting cost, we would have to add ads or a premium tier to pay for it - and that is exactly what we do not want to do to people who are already scared of losing money to scams.
Why We Look The Way We Look
We would rather explain our hosting than dress it up. Every point below is verifiable.
100% Free, With No Ads
Scam Check has no premium tier, no paywall, and no advertising. We do not monetize your scans, sell your data, or run trackers. That is only possible because we keep our running costs at zero.
No Corporate or Investor Funding
We are not backed by a company, accelerator, or investor. There is no sponsorship money paying for a custom domain, a registered legal entity, or a marketing budget. This is an independent public-safety project.
We Use Cloudflare's Free Tier - And We Admit It
A .pages.dev subdomain is Cloudflare's free hosting. We chose it because it costs nothing, is reliably served worldwide, and sends no money from your use of the tool. We would rather be transparent about our hosting than pretend otherwise.
Nothing to Hide Behind a Custom Domain
A custom domain is an address, not a proof of honesty - many scam sites buy cheap custom domains every single day. Our trust comes from how we operate: privacy, transparency, and real, verifiable behavior, not from the suffix in our URL.
Scams Hide. We Explain Everything.
The more a site hides - no privacy policy, no real contact, no explanation - the more suspicious it deserves to be. We do the opposite: full privacy policy, real contact email, and this very page. That is how an honest free tool earns trust.
What A Paid Domain Would Change
Later, if we ever have funding, a custom domain would add convenience (SEO verification, branded email). But it would not make us more trustworthy - it would just cost money and help with search-engine tooling, not with being honest.
How To Check This Yourself
You do not have to take our word for it. Open our Privacy Policy (zero data retention), read our real contact page, and browse the public Trust & Transparency details. A scam site cannot and will not point you to pages like these.
