Corrections & Removal Policy
Effective Date: March 1, 2026
Our Commitment
ReportingScams.com is committed to responsible investigative journalism, editorial independence, and factual accuracy.
We recognize that information changes over time, new evidence may emerge, regulatory proceedings evolve, and mistakes can occasionally occur.
This policy explains how we review requests for factual corrections, article updates, clarifications, and removal of published content.
Our goal is to maintain an accurate public record while preserving editorial independence and the public’s right to access information of legitimate public interest.
1. Our Editorial Responsibility
We publish investigations, scam alerts, company reviews, consumer protection articles, fraud analysis, cryptocurrency reports, and news based on information that we reasonably believe to be reliable at the time of publication.
Our reporting may rely on:
- Court records
- Regulatory actions
- Government publications
- Corporate filings
- Official company statements
- Publicly available consumer complaints
- Archived web content
- News reporting
- Public discussion forums
- Public blockchain information
- User-submitted evidence that has been reasonably reviewed
Because investigations often continue after publication, articles may be updated as new information becomes available.
2. Our Commitment to Accuracy
Accuracy is fundamental to our editorial process.
If we determine that published content contains a factual error, we will review the matter promptly and make appropriate changes where warranted.
Possible editorial actions include:
- Correcting factual inaccuracies.
- Updating outdated information.
- Adding additional context.
- Including official responses.
- Clarifying ambiguous language.
- Publishing an editor’s note.
- Revising headlines where appropriate.
Our objective is to improve accuracy rather than erase the historical record.
3. What Qualifies as a Correction Request
A correction request may be appropriate when published content contains:
- Incorrect factual information.
- Incorrect dates.
- Incorrect names.
- Incorrect company details.
- Incorrect legal status.
- Incorrect regulatory information.
- Incorrect quotations.
- Incorrect references to public records.
- Material omissions that significantly alter factual context.
To assist our review, requests should include credible supporting documentation.
4. What Does Not Qualify as a Correction
The following generally do not constitute factual errors:
- Disagreement with our editorial opinions.
- Disagreement with investigative conclusions.
- Negative publicity resulting from truthful reporting.
- Lawfully published public records.
- Regulatory actions accurately reported.
- Court proceedings accurately described.
- Consumer complaints accurately summarized.
- Publicly available information fairly referenced.
- Statements clearly identified as allegations.
- Information accurately attributed to third-party sources.
The fact that information is unfavorable does not necessarily make it inaccurate.
5. Removal Requests
ReportingScams.com carefully evaluates requests seeking removal of published content.
However, we generally do not remove articles solely because:
- They are critical.
- They are embarrassing.
- They negatively affect reputation.
- They appear in search engine results.
- A company or individual objects to the publication.
- Business circumstances have changed.
- Search engine optimization concerns exist.
As an investigative journalism publication, preserving the public record is an important editorial principle.
6. Circumstances Where Removal May Be Considered

- Verified publication errors that cannot reasonably be corrected.
- Court orders requiring removal.
- Legal obligations under applicable law.
- Accidental publication of confidential personal information.
- Identity theft or impersonation.
- Serious safety concerns.
- Clearly fraudulent submissions.

Each request is assessed individually.

Where supported by credible evidence, we may update articles to reflect:
- Court decisions.

- New documentary evidence.
- Subsequent developments relevant to readers.
Updates help maintain accuracy while preserving the original publication where appropriate.
