How to Use HuntScammers Search Options

HuntScammers offers simple and advanced search tools so you can quickly see whether details used by male scammers or female scammers have already been reported. You do not need to be technical – just decide which search option fits what you have in front of you.

Step 1
Start with one detail

Copy the phone, email, username, profile link or website that makes you suspicious.

Step 2
Pick the search option

Use Quick Search for one detail or Filter Scammers to see wider patterns.

Step 3
Read & decide

Compare the results with your situation and decide whether to stop, continue checking, or report.

2. Advanced Filter – “Filter Scammers Worldwide”

Use the advanced filter when you want to see a whole group of scammers that match a pattern – for example all romance scammers from a certain country or all investment scams from a specific year. This option lives on the page usually called Filter Scammers.

Typical ways to use the filter
  • See all romance scams reported from one country or region.
  • Browse investment and crypto scams that match a story you were told.
  • Find profiles with similar photos, ages or job stories to the person contacting you.
How to use advanced filters – step by step
  1. Open the Filter Scammers page.
  2. Select the country or region (if your case is related to a place).
  3. Choose a scam type such as romance, investment, fake job or blackmail.
  4. Use any extra options like age range, platform or year if they are available.
  5. Apply the filters and scroll through the resulting list of scammers.

Tip: Write down phrases, excuses and payment methods you see in multiple reports. If your scammer uses the same style, that is a very strong warning sign.

3. Browse the Full List of Scams

The “All Scams” page is a running list of scammer profiles and reports on HuntScammers. The address usually looks like /scams. This page is useful when you want a wider view of what is happening on the site.

When “All Scams” is helpful
  • You want to see the most recent scam reports submitted.
  • You are learning about common tricks and story patterns.
  • You are writing your own report and want to see examples of how others explain their cases.
How to use it
  1. Open the page that lists all scams.
  2. Scroll through the entries and open any report title that looks similar to your case.
  3. Use your browser’s find feature (Ctrl+F or Cmd+F) to look for a name, country or keyword.

Tip: combine what you learn here with Quick Search and the advanced filter to build a complete picture before you decide whether to continue or cut off contact.

4. Combine Search with Background & Document Guides

Search tells you whether something is already reported on HuntScammers. Background and document guides show you what else you can safely check using public information when you suspect male scammers or female scammers.

Background check guides

Look for pages with titles like:

  • Background Check in USA
  • Background Check in Russia
  • Background Check in Ukraine
  • Background Check – Rest of the World

These explain which basic, legal checks you can do depending on the country.

Deep check & document pages

Other helpful guide pages usually include:

  • Deep Check for Scam – how to combine search, documents and behaviour.
  • Document Verification – how to inspect IDs, contracts and payment proofs.

These guides support your searches so you can see the bigger pattern, not only one detail.

Example: you run Quick Search on a phone number and see no result yet. The person claims to be from a specific country and sends a “business contract”. Use the background check guide for that country plus the document verification guide to check the company and the contract before you believe anything or send money.

5. Quick Questions About Search

Q1. If there are no results, does that mean it is safe?

No. A blank result simply means nobody has reported that phone, email, website or company yet. Treat “no result” as neutral, not as a guarantee. Keep using background checks, document checks and your own instincts before you trust.

Q2. What if I find a match that looks like my scammer?

If a report matches the same phone, email, website, company or story style, treat it as a strong warning. Stop sending money or information immediately. You can later add your own report so that other people searching the same details can see more evidence and updated information.

Q3. How do I report something new I discovered with search?

When search helps you realise something is suspicious, go back to the report pages listed at the top of this guide. Use the full scammer profile form if you want to describe the whole story, or use the specific forms for phone, email, company or website if you mainly want to warn about one detail. The next time someone searches the same item, your warning will appear.

Search is one part of staying safe on HuntScammers. Combine it with background checks, document verification and your own comfort level. If something feels wrong, you are always allowed to stop the conversation and walk away.
