An independent tool — not an authority
GoCheckAI is an independent informational and recovery-assistance tool. We are not a bank, police department, government agency, or legal service, and we are not affiliated with any of the organizations listed below. We cannot contact banks, police, or authorities on your behalf, and we never guarantee that lost money can be recovered. Always report crime to the official authorities in your country.

How We Get Our Information
Our scam-recovery guidance is compiled from publicly available official guidance published by government cybercrime agencies, consumer-protection bodies, central banks, payment networks, and recognized cybersecurity organizations.
Country-specific reporting channels, emergency numbers, and fraud hotlines are sourced from the official websites of the relevant national authorities. We link directly to those official portals inside your personalized action plan and on our Country Guides page so you can verify the latest information yourself.
We review and update our guidance periodically; the "Last reviewed" date on each guide shows when it was last checked. We do not use private user data, paid endorsements, or unverified third-party claims to build our guidance.
On our example scenarios
Where we use example scenarios to illustrate how a scam works, they are clearly labeled as illustrative examples and are not real cases, testimonials, or statistics. They exist only to help you recognize common scam patterns.
