POPA ReconHow to check if a crypto project is a scam
A scam check is a set of verifications, not a look: what the announcement actually promises and whether its linked pages exist; how the contract behaves in the chain's history; who holds the large wallets and where their money came from; whether the project appears in past hacks and incident reports; what public channels and the news say about it.
POPA Recon can run those verifications in one investigation and answers with links to the sources. Give it the project's name, its ticker or the contract address; the same checks, shown step by step on a real case, are on the /how page.
What it does not do: it gives research, not financial advice — the terms page says to verify sources before acting.
FAQ
Can POPA Recon tell me whether a project is a scam?
It answers with what the public sources show — announcements, chain history, holders, past hacks, public channels — and provides source links. It is research, not financial advice.
What can I check myself?
Read the announcement, open the pages it links, check the contract's history in an explorer, and treat unknown tokens with care; /how shows the same kinds of checks as one replayed investigation.
Is watching useful for this?
Yes: a watch keeps sending what changes about the project into the chat the answer is in.
