I investigate organised fraud and name the people behind it — no filters, no fear, no takedowns.
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, and quoted by The Guardian Australia in coverage by Sarah Martin.
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, 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.
I collaborate with whistleblowers, regulators, journalists, and private companies that need real intelligence — not PR spin. Everything published here is verifiable and legally sourced: corporate filings, domain data, blockchain records, and the digital footprints scammers can’t 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 BOOK ME for private consultations:
- EXPRESS CHAT — quick private sessions for victims or anyone needing immediate guidance.
- SPONSOR A REVIEW — commission an in-depth public investigation or company review.
- SUPPORT SESSION — one-to-one calls for victims rebuilding after financial loss.
These sessions and donations keep the investigations running — funding research, legal work, and the tools needed to expose fraud at scale.
Show your backing with official NO SCAM gear from the MERCH store.
I’m also available for SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS, sharing what I’ve learned as a cult survivor, dyslexia advocate, and front-line investigator — raw, unscripted, and real.
If you’ve been scammed or have insider information, screenshots, or video evidence that could help uncover criminal activity, you can reach me through CONTACT. Anonymity is fine — every message is treated as confidential. Many of my best leads come from ordinary people who decided to speak up.

What’s the easiest way for humans to fly? Without a doubt it’s parapenting. Parapenting is a wonderful adventure sport that inspires a great feeling of freedom, floating on the breeze under a controlled descent to mother earth.
River Sledging

River sledging is the most basic, hands on, ‘face in the water’ style of white water rafting. All you need is your swimsuit and an absolutely positive can-do attitude.
Rafting
Imagine a thrilling roller coaster ride with the added fun and fear factor of tumbling white water rapids. White water rafting is hugely popular in New Zealand. The country has 1500 rivers, many of them accessible by road, and commercial rafting operators have sought out the most diabolical dancing waves.
Rock Climbing
It’s an incomparable sensation to be high on a wall, moving with precision on the edge of space. Your concentration is focused on a crucial move and in that one perfect moment you deftly swing up and lock onto the handhold.
Scuba Diving
New Zealand’s coastal waters offer some of the best underwater diving in the world. Our deeply indented coastline is actually longer than that of the United States. Add to this the fact that nowhere is more than two hours drive from the sea, and it becomes obvious why this is such an aquatic-centred nation.
Sky Diving
Skydiving takes you as high as you can go in terms of adrenalin-pumping adventure sports. Nothing can prepare you for the phenomenal force of slipstream air on your face as you lean out the aircraft door, think briefly about backing out of the jump, and then plunge into space to free fall for 45 seconds at around 180 kph.

Zorbing
Here’s a burgeoning adventure thrill sport that’s on a roll. Zorbing is a unique Kiwi invention that is not only ‘off the wall’ but seems to also be off an alien planet. Zorbing originated in New Zealand in the 1990’s as a novel invention by two Kiwis looking for a new adventure challenge.
Skiing
Come downunder for some thrilling downhill skiing on fresh deep powder snow. New Zealand is an increasingly popular international ski destination. Our June to October season coincides with the Northern Hemisphere summer, so many competitive ski teams use our slopes for off-season training.
Abseiling
If you enjoy high level excitement then why not step boldly over the edge of a near-vertical rock face? Abseiling (or rappelling) is a classic outdoor adventure challenge, which anyone can enjoy. You don’t need experience to enter this vertical world, just a desire to overcome a natural fear of heights and give it a go.

Charleston
Visiting the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island is always a unique experience filled with many wonders. On this occasion we stayed in the small community of Charleston. Charleston was founded during a major gold rush in 1867 and the remains of around 99 hotels have recently been discovered.
Northland
The area around Waitangi, was also the birthplace of viticulture. The British Government representative James Busby planted a vineyard near the Treaty House in 1832 and made the first New Zealand wines.
