Scam Detector helps you analyze suspicious conversations, messages, links, and social engineering patterns before you take action.

Whether you receive a suspicious WhatsApp message, social media DM, SMS, marketplace conversation, or unexpected payment request, Scam Detector analyzes the available evidence and provides a risk score, confidence level, detected scam patterns, and practical safety recommendations.

🔍 What Can Scam Detector Detect?

Scam Detector looks for multiple risk indicators, including:

💰 Payment and money transfer requests
🔐 OTP and verification code requests
🔑 Password and credential requests
🎣 Phishing patterns
👤 Brand and authority impersonation
⚠️ Urgency and pressure tactics
😨 Fear and threat-based manipulation
🤫 Secrecy and isolation tactics
🎁 Fake prizes and rewards
📈 Investment and guaranteed-profit scams
💼 Job and recruitment scams
🛒 Marketplace scams
📦 Delivery and courier scams
💳 Payment and refund scams
💕 Romance and emotional manipulation
🔗 Suspicious links and URLs
📱 Suspicious contact patterns
🧠 More Than Keyword Detection

Scam Detector is designed to look beyond individual words.

Instead of simply detecting words such as "OTP", "transfer", or "prize", the application analyzes combinations of signals and conversation context.

For example:

Authority → Fear → Verification → OTP Request → Urgency

A combination of multiple suspicious signals can indicate a significantly higher risk than any single word alone.

📊 Understand Why a Message Looks Suspicious

Instead of showing only a percentage, Scam Detector provides an explainable assessment.

You may see:

Scam Risk: 87%
Detection Confidence: 94%
Risk Level: HIGH

The application can then explain the detected indicators, such as:

Payment request
Urgency
Possible impersonation
Suspicious link
OTP request
Psychological manipulation

This helps you understand why a conversation may be risky.

🔒 Privacy First

Your conversations are personal.

Scam Detector is designed around on-device analysis. The core detection engine does not require you to upload your private conversations to a remote server.

Your messages can be analyzed locally using pattern matching, contextual rules, entity detection, URL analysis, and a local scam knowledge base.

No account is required for basic analysis.

📷 Analyze Screenshots

Have a suspicious conversation in a screenshot?

Use the screenshot analysis feature to extract text using on-device OCR and analyze the extracted conversation.

You can review the extracted text before starting the analysis.

🔗 Analyze Suspicious Links

Scam Detector can inspect URLs for characteristics commonly associated with suspicious links, including:

Unusual domains
Suspicious URL structures
Login or verification paths
Payment-related paths
URL shorteners
Possible brand impersonation
Punycode and character substitutions
Other suspicious URL indicators
🧩 Scam Pattern Fingerprinting

Scam Detector can identify behavioral sequences that resemble known scam patterns.

For example:

Authority → Fear → Payment → OTP → Urgency

The result can include a pattern similarity assessment to help you understand how the conversation compares with known suspicious behavior patterns.

⚠️ Risk Is Not Proof

Scam Detector provides an automated risk assessment, not a guarantee.

A high score does not automatically prove that a person, company, phone number, or message is fraudulent.

Likewise, a low score does not guarantee that a conversation is completely safe.

Always independently verify important requests through official channels before sending:

Money
OTP codes
Passwords
PINs
Banking information
Personal documents
Other sensitive information
🛡️ Think Before You Click. Think Before You Pay.

When something feels urgent, emotional, or too good to be true, take a moment to verify it.

Scam Detector helps you pause, analyze, and make a safer decision. ## Rankings - #2,581,106 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_TOPICS` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID` - `com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES` - `com.starforappdev.scamdetectorapp.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [Scam Detector](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.dansartech.scamdetector) — 134 users - [ScamRadar](https://chrome-stats.com/d/fr.scamradar.app) — 11 users - [Scam Finder](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.scamfinder) — 127 users - [Scamscanner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.rawmobileapp.scamscanner) — 3,891 users - [Scamchecker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/app.run.asia_southeast1.scamchecker_by_shunyoday_846919303459.twa) — 41 users - [AI Scam Detector](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.aicam.ram) — 137 users - [SafeWatch: Scam Detector](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.safewatch.protection) — 38 users - [ScamShield AI](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.studybridgeapps.ScamShield) — 6 users - [Scamless: AI Scam Detector](https://chrome-stats.com/d/ai.protexo) — 19,726 users, 4.35 / 5 - [ScamSense Scam & Fraud Checker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.scamsense.app) — 1,456 users - [ScamCheck](https://chrome-stats.com/d/de.abelssoft.scamcheck) — 197 users - [FraudSentry](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.fraudsentry.mobile) — 5 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.starforappdev.scamdetectorapp)
