## Description

**Scamless: AI Scam Detector** provides real-time protection against scams and phishing attempts in the apps where they happen, including SMS, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, TikTok, and X. Its AI detects phishing links, fake websites, impersonation attempts, package delivery fraud, investment scams, fake job offers, and urgent money requests.

Scam alerts appear directly over suspicious messages, so users do not need to copy, forward, or manually check them. Scamless supports multiple languages and is designed for individuals, families, parents, and caregivers protecting loved ones from online fraud. Setup requires enabling Android’s Accessibility permission so the app can analyze on-screen messages and display warnings. The app emphasizes privacy by processing messages only for scam detection, avoiding advertising use and data sales, while allowing protection to be paused at any time.
