Using the website

Acceptance of these terms.

By accessing or using stopandverify.com, you agree to use the website lawfully and in accordance with these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the website.

Educational purpose

The checklist highlights patterns, not facts about a sender.

Stop & Verify provides general information about tactics commonly associated with scams. A checklist result is not a determination that a message, person, organisation, website, transaction or investment is genuine or fraudulent.

The website does not provide legal, financial, investment, cybersecurity, medical or law-enforcement advice. Information may not reflect the latest development in every country or situation.

Your responsibility

Verify through an independent source before acting.

You remain responsible for decisions made after using this website. For important requests, contact the relevant organisation through an official app, a number printed on your card, a saved contact or a web address you find independently.

If funds, account access or personal safety may be at risk, contact your bank, service provider or local authorities directly. Stop & Verify cannot recover money or respond as an emergency service.

  • Use the website to facilitate fraud, harassment or unlawful activity
  • Attempt to interfere with its security, availability or operation
  • Impersonate Stop & Verify or falsely claim our endorsement
  • Republish substantial content in a misleading or infringing way
  • Submit malware, suspicious files or confidential third-party data

Availability and liability

The service is provided on an “as available” basis.

We aim to keep the website useful and accurate, but do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, completeness, accuracy or suitability for a particular purpose. Scam methods change quickly and published information can become outdated.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Stop & Verify is not liable for losses arising from reliance on the website, inability to access it, third-party content or actions taken by scammers or service providers. Nothing in these terms excludes rights or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
