Accessibility Statement — Scammers Expose
Our commitment to making scam-recovery information accessible to everyone — including readers with visual, auditory, cognitive, or motor impairments.
Our Commitment
Scammers Expose is committed to making our website accessible to people of all abilities. Scam victims need recovery information urgently and clearly — accessibility is not optional. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA as a minimum standard.
Standards We Aim For
Our accessibility work is guided by the following standards and frameworks:
WCAG 2.1 Level AA
The international web accessibility standard. We aim for Level AA compliance on all content pages.
EU Accessibility Act
The European Accessibility Act requirements applicable to digital services in the EU.
ADA / Section 508
US Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 508 standards for web content.
UK Equality Act 2010
UK accessibility requirements for online services accessible to UK readers.
Features We Provide
Scammers Expose includes the following accessibility features:
- Semantic HTML structure — proper headings (H1-H6), lists, and landmark regions that screen readers can navigate.
- Alt text on images — every meaningful image has descriptive alt text. Decorative images are marked as such.
- Keyboard navigation — all interactive elements (links, forms, buttons) are reachable and operable with keyboard only.
- Visible focus indicators — keyboard focus is clearly visible on interactive elements.
- Sufficient colour contrast — text contrast meets WCAG AA minimum ratios (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text).
- Responsive design — content reflows for screen sizes from 320px upward; works on mobile, tablet, and desktop.
- Scalable text — text can be zoomed to 200% without loss of content or functionality.
- Plain-English content — we deliberately avoid jargon for cognitive accessibility, especially in recovery guides.
- Descriptive link text — link text describes the destination (“read FTC reporting guide”) rather than vague phrases (“click here”).
- No autoplay audio or video — media plays only when the reader chooses to play it.
- Language attribute — pages declare their primary language so screen readers pronounce content correctly.
Known Limitations
We are honest about where we are not yet fully compliant:
- Older articles — some pre-2025 articles may have images without alt text. We are auditing and adding alt text retroactively.
- Embedded third-party content — videos, social-media embeds, and external widgets may not meet our accessibility standards because we don’t control their code.
- PDF documents — where we link to external PDFs (e.g. government reports), those PDFs may not be screen-reader accessible. The original source organisation controls them.
- Comments — user-submitted comments may not always follow accessibility best practices.
We are working to address these gaps. If you encounter an accessibility issue on the site, please report it (see Section 6) and we will prioritise the fix.
