On-device scam analysis

To check whether a message is a scam, some tools upload it to a server, which is its own privacy risk. FraudScope analyzes messages entirely on your iPhone. Here is why on-device analysis matters and how the privacy claim is demonstrable.

Why it matters

Do not solve privacy by giving it up

Suspicious messages often contain sensitive content: account details, personal information, private conversations. Uploading them to a cloud service to "check" them creates a new place that data can be stored, logged, or exposed.

FraudScope takes the opposite approach. Reading and scoring a message happens on your device, with no network requests, so checking a message never becomes a new way to leak it.

The proof

A privacy claim you can demonstrate

Analysis makes zero network requests, so it works in airplane mode.
Your messages are not uploaded, logged, or stored on a server.
History is encrypted on your device and never backed up to the cloud.
The only network feature is optional URL Inspection, disclosed before each use.

The airplane-mode test

Privacy you can see for yourself

// THE MESSAGE

Turn on airplane mode. Paste a suspicious message into FraudScope. Run the analysis.

FraudScope reads it as

It still works. Because the analysis never needed the internet, it runs fully offline. That is the simplest proof that your message never left the device. The only time FraudScope goes online is if you choose URL Inspection, and it tells you first.

How FraudScope helps

Real privacy, not a promise

FraudScope is built so its privacy is demonstrable rather than something you take on faith. The analysis is local, the history is encrypted on-device, and the single network feature is opt-in and disclosed.

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

How do I know FraudScope is really analyzing on-device?

Turn on airplane mode and run an analysis. Because reading and scoring a message makes no network requests, it works completely offline. That is direct proof your message is not being uploaded anywhere.

Does FraudScope ever use the internet?

Only for one optional feature: Inspect URL, which checks where a link really goes and therefore must reach the internet. FraudScope tells you before it does. Everything else, including all message analysis, stays on your device.

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.
