Live Call Shield
Some scams only happen out loud. Live Call Shield is FraudScope’s Pro feature that listens during a suspicious phone call and flags manipulation tactics in real time, so you can recognize the pressure while it is happening.
What it is
A second set of ears on the call
Phone scams move fast because a live voice can pressure you in real time. Live Call Shield is designed for that moment. When you are on a call that feels wrong, it monitors for the manipulation patterns scammers rely on.
As it detects tactics like artificial urgency, authority impersonation, or a request to move money or share a code, it surfaces a clear warning on screen, so you can name the pressure and step back.

What it flags
Tactics it listens for
- Artificial urgency, like "you must act in the next few minutes."
- Authority impersonation, such as a "fraud department" or government office.

- Pressure to stay on the line and not hang up to verify.
- Requests for remote access or sensitive personal details.
Privacy
Built to respect your privacy
Live Call Shield is a Pro feature. Like the rest of FraudScope, its analysis is built around on-device processing, so the focus stays on warning you, not harvesting your calls.
Analysis runs entirely on your iPhone and makes no network requests. The only time FraudScope touches the internet is if you tap Inspect URL to check where a link really goes, and it tells you before it does.
Questions
Frequently asked
Is Live Call Shield free?
No. Live Call Shield is part of FraudScope Pro, along with unlimited analyses and detailed URL Deep Inspection. The free tier includes full intent reconstruction and risk scoring for pasted and shared messages.
What does Live Call Shield actually do during a call?
It listens for known manipulation tactics, such as artificial urgency, authority impersonation, and requests to move money, and warns you on screen when it detects them, so you can recognize the pressure in the moment and hang up to verify.
Does FraudScope send my messages anywhere?
No. Analysis runs entirely on your iPhone with no network connection. The only time it contacts the internet is if you choose to inspect a link’s destination, and it tells you before it does.
Will FraudScope catch every scam?
No tool can. FraudScope is strongest with the full content of a message and weaker with a bare screenshot that has no link or sender. It is a powerful second opinion, not a guarantee. When in doubt, slow down and check with someone you trust.
