This tool is a warning system, not a guarantee. A low score does not prove an order is safe.

🚨 Common Scam Red Flags

  • Cashier’s checks or money orders that may bounce later
  • Overpayment offers where they ask you to send money back
  • Third-party pickup/payment through an assistant, driver, or event planner
  • Vague order details paired with urgency
  • Overly formal or generic wording that feels copied and pasted

💡 How to Protect Your Business

  • Only accept payment through your checkout or invoice system
  • Never refund overpayments
  • Do not send money to a third party
  • Ask for clear order details before moving forward
  • Trust your gut when something feels off
