About us
Who's behind the database.
Las Vegas Scammers is a community-powered database of reviewed fraud reports across the valley. We exist for one reason: the same scams work on the same blocks, week after week, because the people running them know most visitors never compare notes. This site is the place to compare notes. Browse the report feed to see what's being reported right now, then read on to learn how it all works.
What we do
We collect first-hand reports of fraud from locals and visitors, review each one against the evidence and public records, and publish the verified patterns so the next person on the Strip — or the next renter booking a Vegas vacation rental — recognizes the red flags before the money leaves their hands. The database covers rental, ticket, taxi, ATM, romance, and business scams filed across the Las Vegas area.
What we believe
Verified, not viral
Every published report is checked by a moderator against the timeline, documentation, and public records before it goes live. We don't publish unverified claims, and we don't delete a report because a business asked.
Written by the people who lost the money
Reports come from locals and visitors who were there. We publish the pattern, the red flags, and the outcome so the next person recognizes it before their money leaves their hands.
Free and public
The database is free to read and free to search. No paywall, no login, no data sold. The only thing we ask is that you file a report if a scam happened to you.
How a report goes live
You file
Send the timeline, the amounts, and any documentation you still have through the submit form. Submissions are private — only published reports are ever shown publicly.
We review
A moderator checks the evidence, cross-references public records, and removes identifying details that aren't relevant to the pattern.
It goes live
Verified reports join the public feed, searchable by category, so the next visitor to Las Vegas can spot the red flags early.

- Will you remove a report about my business?
- We review accuracy concerns for every report. If a report is inaccurate we correct or remove it, but we don't remove a verified report simply because it was requested. Contact us with the evidence and we'll review it. Browse the report feed.
