Risk-signal self-check: 12 questions
This is not a personality test and it cannot prove that someone is a scammer. It turns a vague sense that something is wrong into specific signals you can check.
How to use it
Think about the most recent relationship or chat that made you uneasy. Tick the statements that apply. Do not enter a name, phone number or any other personal information.

What the score means
| Signals ticked | Level | Suggested next step |
|---|---|---|
| 0-2 signals | Low risk signals | Few signals are visible, but keep verifying identity, refuse upfront payments and preserve the chat and payment records. |
| 3-5 signals | Moderate risk | Several warning signs are present. Stop paying, verify the person and the company independently, and ask someone you trust to review the story. |
| 6-8 signals | High risk | Stop transfers and avoid meeting alone. Preserve the evidence and call 110 or consult 12348 if there is a threat or fraud. |
| 9-12 signals | Very high risk | Prioritise your safety, contact someone you trust and call 110. Do not send more money to buy deletion or silence. |
Frequently asked questions
Can this test tell me whether someone is a scammer?
No. It helps you organise risk signals. It is not a diagnosis or a finding of fact. Verify identity, money flows and evidence independently.
Are my answers saved or uploaded?
No. The calculation happens in your browser. This site does not save or upload your selections.
Does a low score mean I am safe?
No. A low score only means you ticked fewer signals today. Keep verifying identity, refuse upfront payments and preserve evidence.
What should I do if my score is high?
Stop payments and avoid meeting alone. Preserve evidence and prioritise safety. If there is a threat or fraud, call 110 or consult 12348.
