# ScamTrix

> ScamTrix (scamtrix.com) is an independent investigative publication that documents, rates and exposes cryptocurrency scam websites. Each investigation is published as an evidence-led case file: RDAP/WHOIS records, DNS and SSL data, blacklist checks, on-site behavior, and victim reports — ending in a clear verdict (SCAM, HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS, CAUTION or VERIFIED) and a 0–100 trust score. The desk's motto: evidence before verdict.

## What the desk covers
