Scam script matcher

Tick what they said. The result names the structure, and tells you what that structure usually does next. If the next thing then happens, you have your answer.

Tick what they said to you

Close enough in meaning is fine; it does not have to be word for word. You do not need many — two or three is usually enough to identify the structure.

Group 1

"Let's just chat for now, no rush to talk about investing" "Hello, this is official support — there's an issue with your account" "Just connect your wallet to claim it, no gas needed" "This one's steady, fixed return every day" "You'll need to pay a deposit before the withdrawal can go through" "I don't do this professionally, I just invest a bit on the side" "Please read me the code you just received so I can verify it"

Group 2

"You need to approve it to continue — it's the standard step" "We have a professional team trading it, you just deposit" "Your funds are frozen; deposit the same amount to release them" "Try a small amount first, you can take it out whenever you like" "For your protection, please move your assets to our secure account" "Click this link and sign to verify you're the holder" "The annualised return is excellent, and your capital is protected"

Group 3

"You've won — just cover the handling fee and we'll send it" "Let's swap contacts, we can just talk about anything" "It's me — I changed my number, add me on this one" "Your wallet has an issue, you'll need to re-verify your seed phrase" "Follow the analyst on this one, it can't go wrong" "Once the tax is settled, principal and returns arrive together" "I have access to something that isn't usually shared around"

Group 4

"Install this remote assistance app and I'll walk you through it" "This airdrop closes soon — claim it first and check later" "Plenty of people are already making money, look at these screenshots" "Your account tier is too low; upgrade to enable withdrawals" "I'm abroad, the time difference means I can only really text" "It's an official campaign — going through my internal channel is faster" "Import your private key and it'll sync your assets across"

Group 5

"The window is only a few days — miss it and you wait a year" "The system flagged unusual activity; a small payment restores it" "It's not much money — call it friendship, I'll cover any loss" "Don't mention this to support or your family, it complicates things" "Open the link in this app, your browser won't support it" "Send it to this address and the returns settle to you automatically" "One last step — one more top-up and the whole balance releases"

Nothing ticked yet

Tick any line above and this panel will show the closest structure and what that structure usually does next.

How the matching works

Each line is tagged with one structure; ticking counts them and the highest count is the closest match. There is no model and no scoring here — it is category counting, and saying so plainly matters, because a tool's description has to match what it actually does.

The five structures come from this site's own breakdown in the five shapes a crypto scam takes: sorted by structure rather than by name, because names are unlimited and structures are not.

Five structures and where each one leads
Structure	Core characteristic	What usually comes next
Relationship	Long build-up with no mention of money	An opportunity appears, with a small trial encouraged
Impersonation	Poses as official, support, or someone you know	A code is requested, or a transfer to a "safe account"
Approval theft	Steers you into signing or approving in a wallet	Assets moved later using the granted allowance
Yield promise	An uncertain return described as certain	Pressure to add, then withdrawal obstruction
Gate	Payment required to claim or withdraw	Payment made, next reason appears

What it cannot do

Nothing ticked does not mean safe. Scripts are rewritten constantly and this list covers common forms, not all of them. The durable test is the four shared tells: it moves you off the official channel, it promises certainty, it compresses your time, and it ends with you handing over control.

Ticking something is not a finding about any person either. The same sentence can occur in an entirely ordinary conversation. This returns structural similarity, not identity. To assess a specific platform, the suspicious platform decision tree fits better; if money has already gone, go straight to the first 72 hours checklist.
