Scamadvisor.com Is Actually The Real Scam
ScamAdviser.com flagged our legit business as a “scam” on day one. Here’s how their sketchy system works—and why you shouldn’t take them seriously.
So here’s the story: the day we launched our website, fully stocked and ready to serve customers, we noticed something wild. Our site was labeled a “suspicious website” on ScamAdviser.com.
This caught me off guard because while the actual domain name was new, my actual brand name (Illadel) has been around since 2005 and selling online since 2006 with nothing but customers showing love & support and clean business on every sale made through the website.
Wait…what?
We double-checked. We triple-checked. We have five-star reviews, a track record of happy customers, and over two years of running a legit business on the current domain. But ScamAdviser didn’t care. They slapped a “scam” sticker on us faster than a toddler on a hot stove.
I actually forgot how they tried to jerk me off with the “scam site” label until I was checking some backlinks on Google Search Console and there they are, with 8 links all pointing to my URL. Dickheads.
So I did some research using ChatGPT, who never fails me in my time of need, and AI told me it’s they who are actually the scam.
Here’s the ugly truth about ScamAdviser:
1. They Flag Sites Based on Random Data
They don’t care about your products, your reviews, or whether your business is legit. Their “algorithm” looks at stuff like:
Domain age (new? instant red flag)
Registration location (offshore = suspicious, even if it’s a .com)
Basic security protocols (SSL? yes, still suspicious)
Basically, if your site is new or doesn’t pay them, you’re guilty until proven innocent.
2. They’re a Pay-to-Clean System
ScamAdviser flags you automatically, then conveniently offers a “verification service” for a fee. Translation: pay up, or your site stays on the hit list. It’s not protection, it’s a shakedown.
3. Real Trust Comes From Real People
Forget the “trust score” on ScamAdviser. Here’s what actually matters:
Customers leaving glowing reviews on Google
Repeat buyers
Transparency and reliable service
Yeah, we’ve got all that. ScamAdviser? Nada.
4. How to Deal With Them Without Losing Sleep
Ignore the score. Your customers don’t care.
Keep collecting real reviews and building backlinks. Real credibility beats a fake red flag every time.
Optional: call them out publicly. Transparency makes your business look trustworthy—and makes them look ridiculous.
Bottom line: ScamAdviser.com is less “watchdog” and more “extortion racket with a website.” They flag legitimate businesses just to sell a verification service. Don’t let them scare you—or your customers.
Next time you see a suspicious site alert from them, just remember: it’s probably a small business that’s too legit for their algorithm to handle.
