AI Scam Detector - WhatsApp Scanner
Scan & block scam text messages directly on WhatsApp
AI Scam Detector is a frictionless WhatsApp bot and web scanner built to protect users and families from online transaction fraud, phishing links, and SMS scams (like fake KYC alerts and utility cutoff notices). Simply forward any suspicious message, link, or screenshot directly to the WhatsApp bot to get a risk verdict (HIGH/SAFE) and safety actions in under 2.5s. Privacy-first: phone numbers are instantly hashed with SHA-256 in-memory, and no personal logs are saved.
Like many of you, my parents get bombarded with scam texts daily—fake unpaid electricity cutoff warnings, bank account block threats, and lottery scams.
I tried giving them official safety guides, but psychological panic under urgency bypasses standard advice. I realized that security has to be frictionless: no logins, no app downloads, no email signups.
So I built a WhatsApp bot that users can simply forward messages, links, or screenshots to.
🛠️ Key Features: - Zero Friction: Just forward to WhatsApp, get a verdict in under 2.5 seconds. - Privacy-First: Incoming phone numbers are immediately hashed (SHA-256) in-memory. We never store raw phone numbers. - Dynamic Link Resolution: Resolves redirect chains (up to 3 hops) on links to analyze dead or spoofed domains. - Gemini 2.5 Flash Integration: Performs real-time linguistic red flag detection.
The tool is completely self-funded and free to use (up to 5 checks daily).
I would love to get your feedback on the user flow, latency optimizations, or safety features you think we should add next to protect vulnerable family members!
Thank you! 🛡️🚀
