Who Runs The Scam Exposed
The Scam Exposed is founded and run by Nitesh K Gupta, a single person with a background in digital marketing. That background is the reason this site exists. Working in digital marketing means studying how businesses reach people online, how ads are targeted, how landing pages are built to convert a visitor into a customer, and how trust is built or faked in a few seconds on a screen.
Over time, that same skill set was used to look closely at tech support scams and fraudulent websites, the same way you would analyze any business. What became clear is that most scams are not random. They are run like real marketing campaigns, with the same tools, the same targeting, and the same persuasion tactics used by legitimate companies, just pointed at deceiving people instead of serving them. That is the specific angle this site comes from: not law enforcement, not cybersecurity research, but a marketer's eye for how these operations are actually built and why they work on so many people.
What This Site Is and Is Not
The Scam Exposed is an independent, one-person project. It is not a government agency, not a law firm, and not a call center. Nobody here can open a legal case, freeze a scammer's account, or guarantee a refund. What this site does is explain, in plain language, how specific scams work, based on public complaint data and reports sent in by readers, so people can recognize the pattern before it happens to them.
How the Content Is Made
Most of the phone number and website alerts on this site start from public data, mainly the Federal Trade Commission's Do Not Call complaint records, along with reports submitted directly by readers through the report form. Each page is then assembled from those records: the complaint counts, the dates, what the complaints were about and where the people who filed them were. The charts are those counts, and the short explanation around them is filled in from the same figures, so every statement can be traced back to a record rather than to a description of one. Longer articles and guides are written directly by a person.

Corrections
Complaint data is not the same as proof. A phone number or website appearing on this site means it was reported, not that a court has found anyone guilty of anything. Numbers get recycled, websites change hands, and mistakes happen. If something on this site is wrong, outdated, or unfair to you, contact us and it will be reviewed and corrected.
