Route unverified directory

Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.

What the free route requires

  • Not a launch destination in any real sense — there is no submission flow; a trust-score page for a domain is auto-generated when anyone checks it

Requirements

  • No submission form: typing a domain into the checker generates a report page at scamadviser.com/check-website/<domain>
  • The trust score is computed from external signals (SSL, domain age, Tranco rank, hosting, blacklist checks, user reviews) — you cannot control it directly
  • Site owners can respond to user reviews on their page; a 'claim' style flow exists via contact but is not a documented listing product
  • Young domains inherently score worse — a freshly launched SaaS will look suspicious by design

Prepare before opening the form

  • Make sure real-world trust signals are in place: valid SSL, public WHOIS or clean WHOIS, contact info on site, domain age
  • Accept that the page is auto-generated — do not treat 'being on ScamAdviser' as an achievement

Workflow

  1. Enter the domain at scamadviser.com (the checker generates the report page automatically)
  2. If the score is unfairly low, use their contact/dispute channels — there is no self-serve edit
  3. Optionally respond to user reviews on the generated page

Watch for

  • catalog fit is questionable — this is a scam-detection database, not a launch directory; presence is automatic, not earned
  • A brand-new domain will likely get a mediocre trust score — the page may hurt more than help at launch
  • scamadviser.com blocked automated fetch (403) this session — details verified via cached report pages and partner documentation
  • User reviews on the report page are unmoderated-looking and can include fake reviews, which ScamAdviser itself warns about

What counts as live

A trust-score report page exists at scamadviser.com/check-website/<domain>

Not verified

  • Whether a formal claim/verification flow for site owners exists
  • How to appeal a low algorithmic score beyond the contact form
