I investigate organised fraud, follow the evidence, and name the people behind it.

I’m Danny de Hek, a New York Times–featured investigative journalist (print edition, by David Segal), featured in a Bloomberg documentary by Alice Kantor, quoted by The Guardian Australia in coverage by Sarah Martin, and recently featured by Coffeezilla for helping expose the Goliath Ventures $328 million Ponzi scheme.

I use open-source intelligence (OSINT) to expose scams, Ponzi schemes, and MLM frauds — naming and shaming the bad actors behind the lies.

This site is my home base, protected by PROJECT SHIELD, Google’s defence system for journalists under digital attack. Scammers have taken down my social media, filed fake copyright strikes, and launched SMEAR CAMPAIGNS to silence me — but I’m still here, because the truth doesn’t fold.Most people know me from my YOUTUBE CHANNEL, where I crash live scam meetings, confront fraudsters on camera, and expose deception in real time. My interviews aren’t rehearsed or polite — they happen in the moment, when scammers realise they’re being held accountable. My investigations have been featured by The New York Times, Bloomberg, The Guardian Australia, Coffeezilla, ABC News Australia, and others — because this work matters.

The BLOG is where everything connects — hundreds of detailed Scam & Fraud Investigations that don’t vanish when scammers report or censor my content elsewhere. Every post is backed by evidence — screenshots, transcripts, court documents, and blockchain data — creating a public record that can’t be erased. My PODCAST is an extension of that work. It’s distributed across 18 major platforms — including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube, and iHeartRadio — so when scammers try to hide, my content follows them everywhere.

The investigations have also grown beyond the work of one person. I’m part of the Avengers Anti-Fraud Alliance (AAA) — a collaborative network bringing together investigators, researchers, whistleblowers, victims, and specialist expertise to expose organised fraud and follow the evidence wherever it leads.

Through the Avengers Anti-Fraud Alliance, information from individual victims can become part of a much bigger picture. We compare evidence, identify connections between schemes and promoters, preserve records, investigate digital footprints, and follow cryptocurrency and blockchain activity. Where appropriate, that work can help victims organise evidence that may be useful to journalists, regulators, law enforcement, exchanges, or other authorities.

I collaborate with whistleblowers, regulators, journalists, victims, and private companies that need real intelligence — not PR spin. My investigations are built around evidence: corporate filings, court records, domain data, blockchain records, contracts, communications, and the digital footprints scammers can’t easily hide.

“I’ve taken it upon myself to fight back — exposing fraudsters, confronting scammers, and making sure their lies don’t go unchecked.”

Everything I do here is about turning exposure into prevention — helping victims, informing the public, and making it harder for bad actors to hide.

You can WORK WITH ME if you want dedicated access to my time or investigative resources:

• EXPRESS CHAT — a 30-minute private video session to discuss scams, fraud, crypto investments, investigations, or your particular situation.
• INVESTIGATE A SCAM — ask me to investigate a suspicious investment, crypto platform, MLM, trading scheme, or online opportunity and identify the red flags.
• SPONSOR A REVIEW — commission an in-depth investigation or public review of an opportunity, company, or scheme.
• SUPPORT SESSION — a longer one-to-one session when your situation needs more time, discussion, and practical guidance.
• INTERVIEW — book a recorded interview or podcast conversation to share a relevant story, experience, or expertise.

Paid services help fund the considerable time, research, technology, and legal costs involved in keeping these investigations running.

You do not have to pay me to report a scam or tell me your story. If you’ve lost money, have insider information, or hold contracts, screenshots, emails, recordings, or other evidence that could assist an investigation, you can send it through CONTACT. I review information as time permits, and you can ask for your identity to remain confidential.

If cryptocurrency has been moved and you need specialist blockchain tracing, CRYPTO FORENSICS is also available through CryptoG, who provides independent paid tracing and forensic reporting services.

If you prefer to learn at your own pace, explore The Scam Survival Guide Series — practical ebooks designed to help you recognise scams before they cost you.

You can also support the investigations with official NO SCAM gear from the MERCH store.

I’m available for SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS, sharing what I’ve learned as a cult survivor, dyslexia advocate, and investigative journalist — raw, unscripted, and based on real-world experience.
