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.
Oparara Cave
Hidden deep in the silent grottos of Oparara’s Honeycomb Caves are spellbinding limestone sculptures and slender skeletons of extinct creatures like the moa and giant eagle. But there’s still life in the darkest recesses of this alien world. A glow worm galaxy shimmers on the ceiling of the cave.
