What our engine catches
Urgency & pressure tactics
"Act now or lose access," "only 2 hours left" — manufactured deadlines designed to bypass your judgment.
Identity impersonation
Messages pretending to be your bank, the IRS, USPS, or even a family member using spoofed numbers.
Emotional manipulation
Romance grooming, fake emergencies, guilt traps — exploitation designed to override rational thinking.
Phishing & data harvesting
Suspicious links, fake login pages, requests for SSN, passwords, or payment info disguised as legitimate forms.
