ScamAdvisor Exposed: When Trust Scores Come With a Price Tag.
Written by M.E.F • Industry Exposes & Watchdog Reports
The Setup
SweepersEdge was built to help real people find honest info about sweepstakes and crypto casinos — not run one. We don’t ask for your money. We don’t sell fake promises. We publish real reviews, tested bonuses, and legit game tools for players just trying to win.
So imagine our surprise when a site called ScamAdviser flagged us as “high risk” right out the gate. No email. No evidence. No contact. Just a public trust score that screams “shady”, and guess what? They offered to raise it… if we paid.
Yeah. Let that marinate.
The Shakedown
We followed the process. Claimed the site. Submitted our info. Explained what SweepersEdge was (and wasn’t). Instead of re-evaluating the trust score fairly, they told us the only way to increase it was to pay for a “verified” badge.
And not a real verification. Just a small bump in score.
“Your trust score will slightly increase if you purchase verification.”
So basically: pay to make the accusation look less damaging. That’s not security. That’s a hustle.
The Message
Here’s what one of our team had to say about it:
“I thought it was wild as hell that ScamAdviser asked me to pay to get ‘verified’ on their sketchy-ass site, like that means anything. I asked myself: what do I actually get if I pay them? Their own words: ‘a slight bump in your trust score.’
While ScamAdvisor claims to detect fraud, it often misses obvious red flags. Here’s how to spot sweepstakes scams with proven methods that actually work.
So let me get this straight — they label your site a potential scam, then offer to improve that judgment… for a fee?
That don’t feel like a legit review site. That feels like digital extortion. Some mafia-minded business model, for real.
What pisses me off even more is that they do this to small creators and indie site owners just trying to build something real. Some of us are pouring our time, sweat, and life savings into a dream — then this third-party site swoops in, trashes your rep with no proof, and tells you to pay up if you want to clean it up?
I don’t know where you’re from, but where I come from, that’s called holding something for ransom.
The worst part is, most people don’t say shit. They either just take the hit and keep quiet, or they pay the ‘ransom’ just to survive — while their name is already dragged through the mud. It’s only right that ScamAdvisor exposed.
That’s not ‘protecting consumers.’ That’s predatory.
Me? I ain’t going out like that. If this were the block, I’d be at the front door asking questions face to face.
So yeah — I said it: Fuck ScamAdviser. Straight-up contradiction. They call themselves protectors of online safety, but their system feels like it was built to squeeze the little guys for money. Not today.”
The Bigger Problem
We bring to light what far to many other small business owners have shared in the pain of and that’s why it was imperative that we seen ScamAdvisor exposed, but this isn’t the only one. Sites like these profit off fear. They act as judges, juries, and pay-to-escape executioners. Small businesses, creators, and independent voices get buried by their one-sided rankings.
Some pay. Some quit. Some never even know why their traffic died overnight.
Meanwhile, ScamAdviser makes their coin off offering to “fix” the very perception they caused. That’s not trust. That’s coercion wrapped in a badge.
