Vigil Atlas Built so you can check before you trust
Vigil Atlas exists because too many people find out an entity was fraudulent only after they've already sent money.
One search, before it's too late
Fraud moves fast — a fake storefront, a cloned trading app, or a "recruiter" can be live and taking payments within hours. Vigil Atlas gives people a single place to check a company, wallet, website, email, or phone number against a database built from victim reports, analyst reviews, and public records, before money or data changes hands.
We started as a small volunteer database shared among fraud investigators. Today it's used by everyday people doing due diligence, procurement teams vetting suppliers, and compliance analysts screening counterparties — all pulling from the same underlying intelligence.
Principles behind the platform
Evidence over instinct
Every risk score traces back to a report, a record, or a pattern — not a gut feeling.
Victim-first
Guidance and support come before anything else when someone tells us they've been targeted.
Careful with data
We collect what's needed to verify a report and nothing more. See our Privacy Policy.
Always re-checked
Entities move from risky to verified and back — scores update as new evidence comes in.
From spreadsheet to platform
A shared spreadsheet
A handful of investigators started pooling known scam wallets and domains in one document to stop re-covering the same ground.
Public search launches
The database opened up so anyone could check an entity before sending money, not just investigators.
Risk scoring & wallet intelligence
Automated scoring and cross-border wallet tracing were added as fraud increasingly crossed borders and currencies.
15,000+ investigators, millions of searches
Vigil Atlas is used worldwide by everyday people, compliance teams, and consumer protection groups alike.
Vigil Atlas is built and maintained by a distributed team of analysts, engineers, and former investigators. If you'd like to contribute reports, verification expertise, or feedback, we'd love to hear from you.
