ScamBrake - Scam Protection

Real-time scam protection for email and messaging. Detects phishing, impersonation, romance scams, and more across Gmail, Outlook, WhatsApp, and Facebook Messenger. AI-powered second opinion available. Warns you before you get tricked.

Features & Capabilities

Real-time scam protection for email and messaging platforms. ScamBrake automatically detects phishing, impersonation, romance scams, crypto fraud, and other threats across Gmail, Outlook, WhatsApp Web, Facebook Messenger, and more. Works locally on your device—no signup required. Get instant warnings before you click links, send money, or share personal information.

How It Works:

ScamBrake monitors your email and messages in real-time using advanced pattern detection. When you open an email or message, it analyzes the content for scam indicators like urgency tactics, money requests, impersonation attempts, and suspicious links. If a threat is detected, a clear warning banner appears directly in your inbox or chat window, giving you the information you need to stay safe.

Key Features:

• Real-Time Detection - Automatically scans emails and messages as you read them • Multi-Platform Support - Works on Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo Mail, ProtonMail, WhatsApp Web, Facebook Messenger, and Facebook posts • Local-First Privacy - All detection happens on your device. No data leaves your browser unless you choose to use AI analysis • AI Second Opinion - Optional AI-powered analysis for suspicious messages (requires free account) • Domain Spoofing Detection - Identifies when scammers impersonate trusted companies • Multiple Scam Types - Detects romance scams, tech support scams, bank impersonation, crypto fraud, phishing, and more • Free Forever - Basic scam detection is completely free with no credit card required

Privacy & Security:

ScamBrake is built with privacy-first principles. Local detection runs entirely on your device—your messages never leave your browser. If you choose to use AI analysis, personal information (emails, phone numbers, names) is automatically masked before any data is sent. We never store unmasked message content, and you can use the extension without creating an account.

Perfect For:

• Seniors and vulnerable users who need extra protection • Anyone who receives lots of emails or messages • People concerned about online safety and phishing • Families who want to protect loved ones from scams

Getting Started:

Install ScamBrake and it works automatically. No configuration needed. Just browse your email and messages as usual—ScamBrake will warn you if it detects a potential scam. Click the extension icon to sign in for AI-powered analysis and alert history syncing.

Coming Soon:

Mobile app for SMS protection, caregiver sharing features, and desktop applications.

A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
