The site runs on cloud infrastructure operated by Lovable (lovable.dev) and is delivered through an international content delivery network.
Intellectual property
Texts, guides, illustrations, logo and graphics are the property of Detect-arnaques unless stated otherwise. Full reproduction without permission is prohibited; short quotes with a link to the original page are welcome.
Brand names mentioned (WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, LinkedIn, Discord, Wave, Orange Money, MTN, Chronopost, DHL and others) belong to their respective owners and are cited for information only. Detect-arnaques is not affiliated with any of them.
Limitation of liability
Detect-arnaques is an indicative decision-support tool. It is not an official source, nor legal, banking or police advice. A message flagged as "probably legitimate" can still be fraudulent, and the other way around.
The publisher cannot be held liable for decisions made on the basis of the results, or for any financial loss resulting from them. When in serious doubt, contact your bank, your mobile operator or the relevant authorities.
Personal data and cookies
Messages pasted into the tool are never stored or transmitted: the analysis happens in your browser. Only an anonymous counter of total checks is incremented. Details are in our privacy policy.
Applicable law
This website is governed by French law. Any dispute relating to its use falls under the competent French courts.
