Holding a link? Check it before you read on.
Most people arrive holding one link and a bad feeling. Paste it and our server reads it live: whether the name resolves, the certificate served on the connection, its public registration record, and the page itself fetched with caching switched off. You get the answer before we ask you for anything.
A 0–100 scam risk score, a plain-English verdict, from “no red flags found” to “high risk”, and the two most serious red flags — each naming what we read and the day we read it.
No link to hand? Tap one of these addresses from our published record and watch the same check run on it — what it serves today, not what the record says it served.
Point-in-time check of public information. Not monitoring, not advice. A link that is not in our published record is unchecked, not clean — the record is what we have looked at, nothing more. Nothing runs until you press a button. Each check spends live reads, so we never start one for you on page load.
Already decided? Go straight to payment
Both are one-time payments — no account and no subscription. The free check and the free sweep above stay free; these two links exist for people who already know which one they want.

We published one complete $29 Brand Impersonation Audit in full — every hostname it named, every dated reading, the risk ratings and the takedown request. Read it, then run yours.
We published one complete $29 audit in full — Chamberlain Coffee (chamberlaincoffee.com), run 12 Oct 2026.
- 38/100exposure score — moderate exposure
- 5confirmed-resolving hostnames, each named
- 25dated exhibits behind the findings
- 1takedown request, drafted and ready to send
The real artefact, not a mock-up: every hostname it found, the dated readings and risk ratings, all 25 exhibits and the takedown request — nothing withheld, nothing re-worded. Chamberlain Coffee did not commission it and did not pay for it.
Read the whole report — freeHow many lookalikes of your name are answering right now?
Free, no email and no card: we generate the lookalike and typosquat names for your domain, resolve them, fetch the ones that answer and grade them against your own page — then show you the counts, two of the rows in full, and the rest withheld. We generate the lookalike and typosquat names from your domain — different endings, hyphenated forms, single-character swaps and drops, and the shop / store / outlet / sale / official patterns our own documented corpus is full of. Only hostnames we confirm resolving are counted as resolving — a name nobody has registered is counted, never padded into a list.
No email, no card, no account. The sweep runs live and usually takes under a minute.
Know what you need already? The $29 report is right here. The $29 report names every hostname behind these counts, with the dated readings for each, the copying evidence where we found it, a risk rating derived in code, our own published record where we already hold one — and the takedown request drafted for you to send.
- Lookalike and typosquat candidates generated from your own domain — different endings, hyphenated forms, character swaps, drops and doublings, and the -shop/-outlet/-store/-sale/-official patterns our own documented corpus is full of
- Every candidate resolved, and everything that resolves fetched live with cache bypassed — only hostnames we confirm resolving are listed, so a name nobody registered is counted rather than padded into your report
- Per hostname: the date-stamped readings behind it — DNS, the HTTPS certificate served, the public registration record, and the page as served
- Per hostname: a risk rating derived in code from what was observed, and the copying evidence where we found it — your own hosted files being served, your image filenames, your catalogue handles or part numbers, or your title wording reproduced
- Where we already publish a dated record for a hostname, our own published finding, quoted verbatim
- A ready-to-send takedown request with your details in square brackets, plus the dated evidence index it refers to
- Delivered the moment the reads finish — the checks run live when you pay, so there is no research queue in front of it
What this is not: the Evidence Report is the researched tier — it adds the registrar and the true upstream host per domain, a filing drafted separately for every desk, and research beyond the patterns generated here. The audit is the deterministic sweep of your own name plus live reads, delivered without a research queue.
This is a point-in-time audit of publicly observable information, not legal advice and not monitoring. We assemble the evidence and draft the request; on this tier you send it. We do not file on your behalf, we do not contact the registrant, and no outcome or timeline is promised — that decision belongs to each registrar, host and platform.
Your own scan is free before any of that. Type your brand name and the domain you own: our own code generates the lookalike and typosquat names from it, resolves every one live, fetches the ones that answer and grades them against your own page — then prints, on this page, how many are registered and resolving on today's date, two of the rows in full with the hostname included, and the rest withheld. No email, no card, no account.
- Candidate names generated deterministically from your own domain — different endings, hyphenated forms, single-character swaps, drops and doublings, and the shop / store / outlet / sale / official patterns our documented corpus is full of
- Every candidate resolved in DNS, and what answers fetched live with cache bypassed — a name nobody registered is counted, never padded into a list
- Two of the rows shown in full, free: the hostname, how it was generated from your domain, what it answered when we read it and on what date, and the copying evidence where the grader found any — the remainder withheld and counted exactly
- Counts from a time-capped free pass, so each one is a floor and not a total — and a lookup that did not complete is counted as inconclusive, never as “does not exist”
- $29, once, reveals every hostname behind those counts with the dated readings, the copying evidence where we found it, a risk rating derived in code, and a takedown request drafted for you to send — exactly like the published one above
- A point-in-time audit of publicly observable information. Not monitoring, not legal advice, and we do not file on your behalf
Not a brand owner — just checked out on a site you now doubt? Paste that one link into the free check at the top of this page: the score, the verdict and the two worst findings come back without an email, a card or an account. The written report on that single link is $2 afterwards, if you want it.
Of 61 lookalike storefront hostnames we document, 21 had the observed state “does not resolve” when we re-checked them on 27 October 2026. The whole dataset is published: every record with its dated decay history, the method as run, the registry status read-back, and a CSV.
Taking it down isn't the hard part. Filing correctly is.
Registrars and hosts do act on impersonation complaints — but only when the request arrives in the shape they require: the right abuse desk for the party that actually controls the domain, the infringing URL captured as evidence, your own mark and ownership stated plainly, and a specific action requested. Most complaints fail on paperwork, not merit: they go to the wrong host, cite nothing verifiable, or ask for something the provider has no power to do. A registrar abuse desk, a hosting abuse desk and a marketplace report form each demand a different shape, and a request written for one is routinely rejected by another.
The $29 Brand Impersonation Audit hands you the evidence half of that, assembled and dated: every lookalike we confirm resolving named in full, the readings behind each one taken the day you buy — DNS, the certificate served, the public registration record and the page as served — the copying evidence where we found it, a risk rating derived in code, and a takedown request drafted with your details in square brackets alongside the evidence index it refers to. You send it.
This is a point-in-time audit of publicly observable information, not legal advice and not monitoring. We assemble the evidence and draft the request; on this tier you send it. We do not file on your behalf, we do not contact the registrant, and no outcome or timeline is promised — that decision belongs to each registrar, host and platform.
That's the average price of a single attorney-drafted cease-and-desist letter — before anyone has found the domains, captured the evidence, or identified who to send it to.
We published one complete $29 audit in full — Chamberlain Coffee (chamberlaincoffee.com), run 12 Oct 2026.
- 38/100exposure score — moderate exposure
- 5confirmed-resolving hostnames, each named
- 25dated exhibits behind the findings
- 1takedown request, drafted and ready to send
The real artefact, not a mock-up: every hostname it found, the dated readings and risk ratings, all 25 exhibits and the takedown request — nothing withheld, nothing re-worded. Chamberlain Coffee did not commission it and did not pay for it.
Read the whole report — freeWe traced 38 clone storefronts copying 36 real brands, all live on 27 July 2026 — the artefacts, the ten-second tell, and what actually gets one removed.
Is your brand already on our list?Every fake storefront we have documented, indexed by the brand it copies — each with the date we checked it and what it was serving.
Six things you can act on today.
Every audit is run for your brand specifically — not a template, not a generic watchlist. The checks run live when you pay, so the evidence is dated to the day you bought it, and it is ordered so you know what to chase first. Read the complete published example if you'd rather see it than read about it.
From suspicion to a request you can send.
Enter your domain
One field, no account, nothing to install — just the domain you legitimately own, so we can tell you apart from the copies. Company name is optional; we derive it from your domain.
Read the counts, then the real report
The free sweep prints your own counts. We publish one complete $29 audit in full, so you can read the exact document you'd receive before paying for yours. Two prices on this site — $2 for one link, $29 for your brand — both one-time, no plan, no card kept on file.
The checks run when you pay
Every candidate name resolved, everything that answers fetched live with cache bypassed and graded against your own page, each reading date-stamped. No research queue in front of it.
Your report opens, request included
It lands on your order page when the reads finish: every hostname named, the dated readings and the copying evidence, a risk rating derived in code, and the takedown request drafted for you to send. You send it — we don't file on your behalf.
The documented file, and the sizes either side of it.
Every check on this page is free and stays free — paste a link, or sweep your own domain, and read what came back without paying anything. The written documents are what we sell, and the one we lead with is the $149 Documented Evidence Dossier: one domain you own, documented as far as the sweep reaches, in a file complete enough to hand to someone else. The same sweep under tighter caps is $29, up to 10 of your own domains is $249, and a single link is $2 if that is all you need. All one-time — no subscription, no plan, no card kept on file, no account to create — and we publish one complete $29 report in full so you can read the thing before you buy it.
Documented Evidence Dossier
One brand, documented as far as the sweep reaches: every lookalike and typosquat hostname we confirm resolving on your own domain, written out with the dated readings behind it, a risk rating derived in code, the copying evidence where we found any, a dated evidence index, and the takedown request drafted for you to send.
- The deep pass of the same deterministic generator: up to 320 lookalike and typosquat names built from your own domain — different endings, hyphenated forms, character swaps, drops and doublings, and the -shop/-outlet/-store/-sale/-official patterns our own documented corpus is full of — against the 180 the $29 audit resolves
- Every one of those names resolved, and up to 72 of the ones that answer fetched live with cache bypassed — only hostnames we confirm resolving are listed, so a name nobody registered is counted rather than padded into your file
- Up to 30 confirmed hostnames documented row by row, against 15 on the $29 audit — which is the whole difference: the resolving remainder that pass reports as a number is written out here with the readings behind it
- Per hostname: the date-stamped readings themselves — DNS, the HTTPS certificate served, the public registration record, and the page as served — each carrying the day we read it, never an undated assertion
Same engine, same method, same claims — run deeper. The Brand Impersonation Audit documents up to 15 confirmed hostnames and reports the rest of what resolved as a count; the Documented Evidence Dossier documents up to 30 of them row by row, from a candidate list of up to 320 names rather than 180. Nothing is added to a row and no caveat is softened. If a capped pass over your own domain answers your question, buy the $29 audit instead — this tier is for a file complete enough to hand to someone else.
Brand Impersonation Audit
The deterministic sweep of your own name: lookalike and typosquat candidates generated from your domain, every one resolved, what answers fetched live and graded against your own page.
- Lookalike and typosquat candidates generated from your own domain — different endings, hyphenated forms, character swaps, drops and doublings, and the -shop/-outlet/-store/-sale/-official patterns our own documented corpus is full of
- Every candidate resolved, and everything that resolves fetched live with cache bypassed — only hostnames we confirm resolving are listed, so a name nobody registered is counted rather than padded into your report
- Per hostname: the date-stamped readings behind it — DNS, the HTTPS certificate served, the public registration record, and the page as served
- Per hostname: a risk rating derived in code from what was observed, and the copying evidence where we found it — your own hosted files being served, your image filenames, your catalogue handles or part numbers, or your title wording reproduced
- Where we already publish a dated record for a hostname, our own published finding, quoted verbatim
Portfolio Impersonation Audit
Enter up to 10 domains you own. We run the Brand Impersonation Audit on each of them — the same sweep, the same live reads, the same dated evidence — and return one report covering all of them, so a group with several brands or several country domains reads one document instead of collating ten.
- One combined, dated report covering up to 10 domains you enter at checkout — each one swept, read and graded separately, then assembled into a single document with one exposure score across the whole portfolio and the per-domain score beside every section
- Lookalike and typosquat candidates generated from your own domain — different endings, hyphenated forms, character swaps, drops and doublings, and the -shop/-outlet/-store/-sale/-official patterns our own documented corpus is full of
- Every candidate resolved, and everything that resolves fetched live with cache bypassed — only hostnames we confirm resolving are listed, so a name nobody registered is counted rather than padded into your report
- Per hostname: the date-stamped readings behind it — DNS, the HTTPS certificate served, the public registration record, and the page as served
This is not a different or deeper method. One domain is the $29 Brand Impersonation Audit and you should buy that instead; the $249 buys the same audit across a portfolio in one checkout and one combined dated report.

Straight answers.
What does Scam Detective sell, exactly?+
Four things, every one of them one-time. The $2 instant URL check is for a shopper: paste one suspicious link and get a 0–100 scam risk score, a plain-English verdict, up to five red flags, each with the evidence behind it — and none if we found none, and a 3-step "what to do now" list. The other three are for a brand owner, and they are the same sweep at three sizes. The $29 Brand Impersonation Audit covers one domain you own: we generate the lookalike and typosquat names, resolve every one, fetch what answers, and hand you every confirmed hostname with dated readings, copying evidence, a risk rating derived in code and a takedown request drafted for you to send. The $149 Documented Evidence Dossier is that same sweep on that same one domain with the caps raised, so the resolving names the $29 pass reports as a count are documented row by row instead. The $249 Portfolio Impersonation Audit runs the $29 audit once per domain across up to 10 domains you own, in one combined dated report. No subscription, no plan, no account, no card kept on file, and no fifth price.
Can I read a real report before I pay?+
Yes — the whole thing, free. We published one complete $29 audit at /published-audit: Chamberlain Coffee (chamberlaincoffee.com), run 12 Oct 2026 by the same paid pipeline, with nothing removed. All 5 confirmed-resolving hostnames are named, every one of the 25 dated exhibits is there, the risk ratings are the ones the code derived, and the takedown request is printed in full. Chamberlain Coffee did not commission it and did not pay for it. On top of that, the sweep at the top of this page runs free on your own domain and prints your own counts before any ask.
Will you file the takedowns for me?+
No. We assemble the evidence and draft the request with your details in square brackets — you send it. We don't file on your behalf, we don't contact whoever registered the domain, we don't recover funds, and we don't do continuous monitoring. If you want those things, the report is written so your own counsel or security team can act on it without redoing the work.
Are you acting as my lawyer?+
No, and we're careful about this. Scam Detective is not a law firm and does not provide legal representation or legal advice. Every report is automated scam intelligence assembled from publicly observable information at the time of the check. Confirm your own trademark position before you send anything, and talk to a lawyer for anything adversarial.
How many lookalike domains will you find?+
It depends on your brand — typically between eight and twenty-five genuine candidates, ordered by risk. Available-but-unregistered lookalikes are flagged separately as defensive-registration items, never dressed up as active copycats, and a domain we find dead is reported as dead rather than padding the count. If your brand genuinely has no live lookalike today, that's what the report says.
What do I get for the $29 audit?+
The audit is the deterministic sweep of your own name, and it is what the free counts at the top of this page are produced by. We generate lookalike and typosquat candidates from your domain — different endings, hyphenated forms, character swaps, drops and doublings, and the shop/store/outlet/sale/official patterns — resolve every one, fetch what answers with cache bypassed, and grade it against your own page. The $29 report names every hostname behind the counts, with the dated readings for each, the copying evidence where we found it, a risk rating derived in code, our own published record where we already hold one, and a takedown request drafted for you to send. It is delivered without a research queue — the checks run live when you pay. It is not monitoring, and you send the request yourself. The published example at /published-audit is exactly this document, start to finish.
Is any of this a subscription?+
No. There are four prices on this site — $2 for an instant URL check, $29 for the Brand Impersonation Audit, $149 for the Documented Evidence Dossier and $249 for the Portfolio Impersonation Audit — and every one of them is a one-time payment. No plan, no account, no card kept on file, no minimum, and nothing to cancel. We do not sell continuous monitoring, a real-time feed or an API.
How long does it take?+
The free brand sweep in the hero usually finishes in under a minute — it is a time-capped live pass, so its counts are floors rather than totals. The free Exposure Preview further down takes about 40 seconds; both are live lookups, not cached lookup tables, so they run while you wait. The $29 audit's own checks run when you pay and the report opens on your order page when they finish — the published example took 20 seconds. The $2 URL check is delivered on screen and emailed to you, usually within a few minutes.
Is this legal advice?+
No. Every report is automated scam intelligence based on public information available at the time of the check. Confirm your own trademark position before sending any request, and talk to a lawyer for anything adversarial.
Someone is using your name right now.
