Check an investment opportunity
AFSL number, ABN, ACN, website, email, BSB, crypto address or pasted pitch. No account needed.
Why Investment Shield isn't a green light to invest
Most investment checks only show a glossy website. RILLA checks the hard signals: ASIC licence format, ACN/ABN validity, domain reputation, breach exposure, crypto address patterns, known scam language and anonymised network intelligence from other businesses.
Validate Australian licence and company number formats against official algorithms.
Spot new domains, typosquats and lookalike websites used to impersonate banks and funds.
Recognise wallet formats and flag unsolicited crypto 'investment' offers.
Detect phrases like 'guaranteed returns', 'risk-free' and 'exclusive opportunity'.
The 3-step independent check every investor should do
Search the AFSL / ACN / ABN on the official ASIC Professional Registers and ABR website. Don't trust screenshots.
Call the company back on a phone number you find independently — not the one in the email or pitch.
Any promise of guaranteed, high or risk-free returns is a warning sign, not a selling point.

Frequently asked questions
What can I check with Investment Shield?
An AFSL number, ABN/ACN, website, email address, BSB, crypto wallet address, or a pasted investment pitch. RILLA runs the right verifications for each input.
Does a 'Safe' result mean an investment is legitimate?
No. Investment Shield only flags known risk signals. It cannot judge profitability, solvency or honesty. Always check ASIC's Professional Registers directly, read the PDS, and consider professional financial advice.
Why does RILLA focus on investment scams?
Investment scams were the #1 loss type reported to the ACCC in 2025, costing Australians $837.7 million. Most victims were contacted by someone who looked professional and sounded urgent.
Is my lookup private?
