Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built this after seeing how many people around me were getting scam texts — especially delivery, bank, and verification scams. The problem is: most tools either give generic advice or require too much effort. So I wanted something simple: 👉 paste a message → instantly understand if it’s dangerous Over time, it evolved into something bigger: grouping scams into patterns learning from real user reports helping others avoid the same traps Curious to hear: 👉 what’s the most convincing scam message you’ve received? Happy to analyze any examples you drop here 👇

@samsam92 This is a smart angle — the friction point you identified is real. People get decision paralysis when they're unsure about a text, and by then the damage is often done. The pattern-learning piece is interesting too, since scammers iterate fast and generic advice becomes stale pretty quick.

@osakasaul Thanks Sau really appreciate that.

Exactly: the dangerous moment is when someone is unsure and under pressure. I wanted the tool to give an instant first read, then turn real reports into reusable scam patterns so others can recognize the same trap faster.

The pattern-learning part is what I’m most excited about > scammers keep changing wording, but the underlying tricks repeat.

Curious if you’ve seen any products doing “collective scam intelligence” well?
