## Description

Scams do not look like scams anymore. The fake text says your package could not be delivered, the link opens a page that looks exactly right, and the only thing that gives it away is a detail nobody should have to notice. Porchia notices instead.  

WHAT IT DOES  

When you open a website that looks fake, Porchia covers the page with a plain warning and a big button that gets you out. Not a technical alert. It says what it found: this site pretends to be Amazon but is not Amazon, or this website was created today.  

When you are about to buy something, Porchia can pause the checkout and let someone you trust take a look first. They get a message, they see what you are buying, they approve it. You keep shopping. 

You choose whether this happens on every purchase, only over a dollar amount, only on risky sites, or never.  HOW IT DECIDES  Real signals, not guesses. A live list of known phishing sites, brand impersonation across 25 major companies, how old the domain is, whether the connection is secure, and high-pressure wording on the page.  

WHO IT IS FOR  

Anyone who has been targeted, and anyone who worries about a parent who has been. It was built for one specific father-in-law who kept getting the same fake delivery text.  

A NOTE ON HOW IT TREATS YOU  

Porchia never blocks anything on its own. Every warning has a way past it. You are the one who decides. A porch light is not a lock. It is what someone leaves on so you can see who is at the door, and you still choose whether to open it.
