Corrections Policy — Scammers Expose
How we handle errors, what we correct, and how readers can report inaccuracies. Our commitment to transparent journalism.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
Scammers Expose publishes information that can directly affect a reader’s finances, safety, and wellbeing. Accuracy is non-negotiable. When we get something wrong, we correct it promptly and transparently — and we want our readers to help us do that.
What Counts as a Correction
We treat the following as substantive corrections that require investigation and transparent fixing:
Factual Errors
Incorrect names, dates, monetary figures, locations, agency names, or statistics that materially change the meaning of the article.
Outdated Procedures
Recovery steps, reporting URLs, or agency contact details that no longer work because of policy or system changes.
Misidentification
Naming the wrong individual or business in connection with a scam, or attributing actions to the wrong party.
Evolved Tactics
Articles where the scam has changed since publication — new payment methods, new platforms, new social-engineering scripts.
Broken or Wrong Links
Links to outdated FTC pages, dead reporting portals, or wrong reporting authority for a given country.
Quotations & Attributions
Misquotations, misattributions, or quotations taken out of context that change the speaker’s intended meaning.
We treat the following as minor edits that we fix without notice:
- Typos and spelling mistakes
- Grammar fixes and minor rewording for clarity
- Formatting improvements (heading styles, paragraph breaks)
- Updates to internal navigation links
How to Report a Correction
Email the editorial team
Send a message to info@scammersexpose.com with the subject line “Correction Request.”
Include the page URL
Paste the exact URL of the article that needs correcting so we can find it quickly.
Quote the specific text
Copy-paste the exact sentence or paragraph you believe is incorrect. Vague references slow us down.
Explain what should change
Describe what you believe is wrong and what the correct information is.
Cite a source where possible
If you have a source — a government advisory, court filing, news report, primary document — please include the link or reference. This speeds verification.
Our Response Timeline
We commit to the following turnaround for correction requests:
- Acknowledgement within 48 hours — you’ll receive an email confirming we’ve received the request.
- Investigation within 5 business days — we’ll verify the claim against original sources.
- Correction published within 24 hours of verification — once we confirm an error, the fix is live the same or next day.
- Reply to the reporter — we’ll email you when the correction goes live, explaining what we changed.
How We Mark Corrected Content
When we make a substantive correction, we apply the following transparency standards:
- The “Last Updated” date at the top of the article is refreshed.
- For significant factual changes, we add a “Correction:” or “Update:” note at the top or bottom of the article, briefly explaining what changed.
- For misidentifications or claims about individuals, we add a more prominent correction notice and may issue a separate retraction statement.
- The original incorrect text is not preserved in public view — we replace it. The change history is logged internally.
We do not silently rewrite articles to hide errors. If a reasonable reader would have relied on the original wording, they deserve to know we changed it.
Retractions
In rare cases, we may issue a full retraction rather than a correction. We retract when:
- An article was based on a source that turned out to be fabricated or deceptive;
- An article identified an individual or business in connection with a scam, and our research was materially wrong;
- Continuing to publish the article would cause material harm to readers or to a wrongly-identified party.
Retracted articles are replaced with a clearly-labelled retraction notice explaining what was wrong and why we removed it. We do not delete the URL — we preserve it with the retraction so that anyone who links to the article finds the correction.
Disputes & Right to Reply
If you are named in an article in connection with a scam and believe the reporting is inaccurate or unfair:
- Email info@scammersexpose.com with the page URL and your concern;
- Provide any evidence supporting your position — court records, regulatory rulings, your own response to the alleged conduct;
- We will review your submission and respond within 10 business days.
Where the underlying reporting is accurate but you wish to provide a response, we may include your statement in the article in the interest of fairness. Where the reporting is inaccurate, we will correct or retract.
Public Corrections Log
We are building a publicly-accessible corrections log that will list substantive corrections we’ve made, with dates and brief explanations. This is a transparency commitment to readers — you’ll be able to see our error rate over time.
The corrections log is in development. In the meantime, all corrections are noted on the affected articles themselves.
