Yep, these folks at Scam-Detector are using their site to pressure small businesses for money.If you look closely, their data is inconsistent, and they tend to target sites that are less likely to push back. Conveniently, Amazon gets a 100% rating.Read the company reviews they publish. They invite owners to “contact us” to update a review, which reads like pay-to-improve. They also request personal information and proof of orders as if they were an official authority.That means they can post negative claims about a business without any firsthand experience as customers.This reminds me of what Ripoff Report’s founder was accused of years ago, when that site became a platform for unverified and often defamatory posts from people who never used the businesses they attacked.Scam-Detector should not be treated as a trustworthy source. Either the hosting is offshore or there is little accountability, and the whole model invites abuse. If they are confident in their analysis, they should rely on transparent evidence rather than soliciting “updates” from the businesses they label as risky.Trustpilot appears to allow this to continue while the site promotes itself with glowing self-reviews. I would never pay for services from a site like Scam-Detector. It reads like a revenue play, plastered with Google AdSense and built on sensational ratings rather than verified facts.Do not trust Scam-Detector. In my opinion, it is not a legitimate or accurate resource. It looks like an online shakedown that labels businesses it has never actually used.If anyone has given Scam-Detector a 5-star review, it obviously looks bought, and Trustpilot seems to be letting it happen here, of course.
