About ScamReports.za

ScamReports.za was built after seeing how often everyday South Africans get hit by the same recycled scams,fake job offers, impersonated brands, investment cons, and social media swindlers. We wanted a fast, free, public place where victims and witnesses could warn their neighbours.

On the 18th of December 2025 the site was attacked by a group calling themselves Legese in Durban, with a threat to stop us publishing scam alerts. We came back stronger, with a larger team, hardened infrastructure, and a deeper commitment to exposing internet scammers operating in South Africa.

Behind the scenes we run a dedicated network of volunteers and a specialised investigation team that alerts the relevant authorities. Reports are not just listed, every claim is reviewed, cross-checked and verified against multiple sources before it stands on the site. This is the ultimate community vetting system: real people, real evidence, and a direct line to law enforcement when it matters.
