    ZoraWatch: Scam Alerts, Sources and Coverage

    ZoraWatch brings together community reports and named public-source scam intelligence to help you understand patterns affecting places you care about.

    What an alert means

    An alert provides context about a reported scam or published warning. It is a reason to review the situation and verify a request, not proof that a particular person, address or phone number is guilty of fraud.

    The public website labels community reports separately from public-source intelligence. Read the original source and publication date before applying a warning to your situation.

    Local relevance and wider warnings

    The current public map presents available Florida intelligence, supports ZIP-code exploration and scam-type filters, and offers paths for reporting or requesting additional coverage. A national warning may be relevant locally without proving an incident occurred at your location.

    Use the places and alert controls available in your current app version. Coverage varies; an empty map is not evidence that an area has no scams. There is no promise of nationwide completeness or a fixed notification schedule.

    Reporting and update expectations

    Community submissions and public intelligence are different evidence types. A submission is not an official finding. Check the source date; ZoraWatch is not a live emergency feed and no fixed update interval is promised.

    Reporting a similar experience can add context where reporting is available. Use the reporting controls shown in your current version; a report is not confirmation of an incident.

    Use alerts without oversharing

    1. Read the source, date and location scope.
    2. Verify urgent requests through an independently obtained contact channel.
    3. When reporting, omit account numbers, passwords and other people’s private details.
    4. Contact your bank or official reporting service directly if you lost money; a map report is not a recovery claim or emergency response.
