Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Shyam, founder of ScholarVault. The problem I kept seeing: Indian researchers (including people I know) paying ₹15,000–₹40,000 in registration fees to conferences that turned out to be fake — no proceedings published, no venue, organizers vanishing after payment. There was no tool that could catch this before you paid. ScholarVault runs 18 automated checks the moment you paste a URL: → Is the domain recently registered? (red flag) → Is the organizing body traceable? → Are Scopus/WoS indexing claims accurate? → Is this domain on any known predatory list? → Is the SSL certificate legitimate? We've already blacklisted 73 predatory conference domains, many from the ARDA Conference network — one of India's most prolific fake conference operators. Would love your feedback — especially from academics, PhD students, and researchers in the community. What checks would you want to see added? Try it free at app.scholarvault.in 🙏
