About ScamSandbox
We help people identify scams, phishing, and fraudulent websites before they become victims.
Our Mission
Every day, thousands of people fall victim to online scams, phishing attacks, and fraudulent websites. ScamSandbox was built to change that. We provide a free, comprehensive website safety scanner that aggregates data from over 20 trusted threat intelligence sources to give you an accurate, real-time assessment of any website's safety.
Our goal is simple: empower individuals and businesses to make informed decisions about the websites they visit, interact with, and trust. Whether you received a suspicious link in an email, found an online store that seems too good to be true, or want to verify a business before making a purchase, ScamSandbox gives you the information you need.
