See a scam?
Report it.
ScamWatch is a tool for reporting suspicious ads and checking how quickly platforms respond. You submit a report. We verify and analyse it, and measure how long the ad remains active.
How does ScamWatch work?
We analyse the whole advertising space
Every day we review ads published on Meta platforms in Poland - we don't wait for reports. Our system detects fraud signals: brand impersonation, newly registered domains, networks of linked payers, and mismatches between an ad's content and its destination.
We assess and show the results
We assess every ad and explain what led to each verdict. The results go into an open registry - we show the scale of the problem and specific cases. The quality of our analyses is overseen by the Rafał Brzoska Foundation team.
Your report helps
Spotted a suspicious ad? Report it - we'll check whether our system has already examined it, and if not, we'll take a look. It's a way to catch unusual cases that automated monitoring might have missed.
Report a scam
Four short steps. A public record. We verify each report, pass it to the platform and measure how quickly it reacts.
Thank you for your interest.
At this stage, ScamWatch accepts reports of scam ads displayed to users in Poland, and the reporting form is available in the Polish version of this page. If you are based outside Poland, you cannot submit a report yet - but you can still help.
Scam ads on global platforms are a Europe-wide problem. Share ScamWatch and help hold platforms accountable - wherever you are.
