🔍 HOW IT WORKS
──────────────────────────────
ScamSpot uses a powerful two-stage detection system:
INSTANT HARD RULES — Flags scams immediately when it detects upfront payment or registration fees, WhatsApp-only contact numbers, personal Gmail or Yahoo emails used as official contacts, shortened links that hide real destinations, guaranteed profits or unrealistic returns, urgency tactics and threats of legal action, and cryptocurrency or gift card payment requests.
AI ANALYSIS — For content that passes the initial checks, our AI engine analyses the full context across 10 categories including Jobs, Banking, Investment, Tenders, Shopping, Rental, Romance, Education, Travel, and Government scams.
