The problem
A person who loses $2,000 to a fake store or a trading app rarely gets a lawyer. The amount is too small to justify a case, so the loss is absorbed in silence. Multiply that person by 400 and you have an $800,000 case that a lawyer will take. The only thing missing was a way for those 400 people to find each other.
Globally, only about 4% of scam victims recover their money. Most never report it at all.
How it works
- Anyone can report a scam: what happened, who did it, what it cost, with screenshots.
- Every report gets its own public page. People it also happened to add themselves and their losses.
- When a group grows, listed lawyers who take that kind of case are alerted.
- Members decide whether lawyers may contact them. Lawyers write through the platform; email addresses stay private.
What we hold ourselves to
- Reports are labelled for what they are: first-hand accounts from members, or case files compiled from public records with sources.
- Anyone named in a report can respond. Verified responses are published on the report itself.
- We never remove or soften a report in exchange for money.
- Who joined a case is private. The public sees only the number of people and the combined losses.
- We don't sell personal data, and we don't run advertising.
How we're funded
Lawyers pay a flat $25 a month to be listed. That is the only money that changes hands on the site. Reporting, joining a case and messaging are free for everyone else, permanently.
