ScamSentry Knowledge Base

What is ScamSentry?

ScamSentry is a Discord bot that helps you and your community spot scams, gather intel, file abuse reports, and practice safe scambaiting without leaving Discord. It provides quick ways to scan links, check domains, and investigate suspicious content, while also giving baiters fun tools like fake profiles, burner inboxes, and fake gift card codes. The goal is to make scambaiting easier, safer, and more effective inside your server.

Getting Started
Step 1: Add ScamSentry to Your Server

Invite ScamSentry like any other Discord bot. Once it joins, it will sit idle until you set up your preferences.

Step 2: Run /configure

The /configure command opens a setup panel where you can define how ScamSentry works in your server. Here you can:

• Choose an Alerts Channel — Pick a channel where ScamSentry posts scan results. If you skip this, results will default to private replies.

• Set Allowed Roles — Limit who can run baiting or intel commands. This prevents misuse and keeps sensitive tools in the right hands.

• Set an Admin Role — Assign a role for advanced or admin commands without needing full server permissions.

• Adjust Toggles and Privacy — Turn auto-deletion of flagged links on or off, control whether warnings are shown, enable advanced scanning, and pick whether results are public or private.

Step 3: Confirm with /showconfig

Use /showconfig to see your active settings. This is a quick way to double-check that everything is correct.

Using ScamSentry Intel Commands

These tools give you quick insights into suspicious links, domains, and IPs.

• /scanlink checks blacklists, WHOIS data, and VirusTotal (if configured).

• /whois, /rdap, /dnsrecords, /iplookup, and /headers provide deeper technical intel.

• /screenshot fetches safe images of sites without clicking them.

• /subdomainhunt and /urlunshorten help uncover hidden or redirected domains.

All intel commands use safe lookups and APIs. The bot never interacts with scam links directly.

Baiting Tools

These commands are designed for controlled scambaiting sessions where you want to waste a scammer’s time without risk.

• /burnerinbox gives you fake inbox suggestions.

• /giftcardgen creates fake gift card codes.

• /fakeprofile spins up bait personas.

• /delaytemplate and /timewaster generate excuses and filler lines to keep scammers busy.

• /fakeinvoice and /trackingnum create realistic but harmless artifacts.

These commands are safe for use in Discord and are meant for baiting, not real transactions.

Awareness & Education

ScamSentry also helps teach your community about scam tactics.

• /redflags shows common warning signs.

• /scamoftheweek highlights trending scam patterns.

• /educate provides shareable blurbs to drop in chat.

• /quiz lets members test themselves in an interactive way.

These features are perfect for keeping your community sharp and informed.

Reporting & Admin Tools

For moderation and tracking, ScamSentry includes several commands just for admins:

• /reportscam logs scam artifacts into your server’s local blacklist or the global database.

• /blacklist manages local blacklists.

• /exportreports exports your logged reports to CSV.

• /feedsync refreshes feeds with the latest data.

• /configure and /showconfig let you revisit or confirm your server setup anytime.

Advanced Usage

• Privacy Modes: Choose between strict mode (results only visible to the user) and normal mode (results posted in a channel).

• Blacklist Integration: Local reports can be shared globally, which strengthens ScamSentry’s protection across servers.

• Abuse Desk Helpers: When you scan a domain, ScamSentry can suggest registrar or hosting abuse contacts so you know where to file reports.

• Rate Limits: To keep performance smooth, ScamSentry has built-in per-server limits. These can be adjusted in /configure.

• Deep Scanning: Turn on advanced mode to fetch headers, screenshots, and live VirusTotal results.

Things to Remember

• ScamSentry never sends DMs unless you run a command. Everything happens in-server.

• It never clicks or interacts with scam sites. Intel is pulled from safe APIs only.

• Results are guides, not guarantees. Always use judgment when handling suspicious content.

Summary

ScamSentry is a complete toolkit for Discord communities that want to fight scams, run safe baiting sessions, and stay educated. With a mix of scanning, baiting, awareness, and reporting features, it’s built for both fun and safety. Whether you’re a moderator trying to protect your server or a baiter looking to waste some scammer’s time, ScamSentry has tools ready for you.
