FraudScope · iPhone, iOS 18+

Know what a scammer is trying to do to you.

FraudScope reads a suspicious text, email, screenshot, or link and explains what the sender is really after: who they’re claiming to be, their goal, and the tactics they’re using to get it. Free to try, and it works entirely on your iPhone.

FraudScope result screen showing a risk score of 65 out of 100 and the likely attacker plan: who they claim to be, their goal, and their tactics.

Intent reconstruction

Every analysis maps the attacker’s plan: who they’re claiming to be, what they’re really after, the manipulation tactics in play, and the exact line that gave it away.

A risk score you can act on

Every result lands in one of four plain-language bands, from low to critical, each paired with guidance on what to do next. No jargon, no ambiguity.

On-device, by design

Analysis runs entirely on your iPhone. The only feature that contacts the internet is optional link inspection, and it asks first.

How it works

Three steps to clarity.

Paste it in. FraudScope reads it. You know exactly what to do.

Paste It

Paste the suspicious text, share a screenshot, drop in a link, or forward an email as a PDF. Use the iOS Share Sheet from any app, no copying required.

Scope It

FraudScope maps the attacker's plan: what they claim to be, what they're after, which manipulation tactics they're using, and the exact words that gave it away.

Act On It

One clear screen with your risk score, the full intent breakdown, and a plain-language recommendation. Share the result with a trusted person with one tap.

Risk score

One number, four plain-language bands.

Every analysis returns a score from 0 to 100, and every score lands in one of four bands. FraudScope recognizes 15 common scam archetypes, from fake bank alerts to grandparent scams and romance scams, and names which one it’s seeing and why.

Low · 0–25

Nothing alarming here. The message doesn’t show strong scam signals. Stay alert, but you can proceed.

Medium · 26–50

Some warning signs detected. Verify before acting, and don’t share information until you’ve confirmed the sender.

High · 51–75

Strong scam indicators found. Do not comply until you verify through an official channel you find independently.

Critical · 76–100

Almost certainly a scam. Do not respond, click, or share any information. Hang up if you’re on a call.

Privacy

It works with the internet off. Because it never needed it.

Analysis happens entirely on your iPhone. Reading and scoring a message makes zero network requests. Your private messages stay private, provably rather than just promised.

Without FraudScope

  • Cloud-based tools upload your message text to their servers
  • Your scam queries and history are logged and retained remotely
  • Most require an account, tying your identity to your queries
  • Analysis results may be used to train models or shared with partners
  • Your most private communications pass through someone else's infrastructure

With FraudScope

  • Analysis runs entirely on-device. Zero network calls to read or score a message
  • Encrypted on-device history. Never backed up to the cloud
  • No account required. No analytics. No crash reporting
  • The only network activity: optional URL Inspect, and it tells you before it contacts the internet
  • Your private messages stay on your phone, always

Capabilities

Every way a scam can reach you. Covered.

Text, call, screenshot, link, email. FraudScope handles whatever the scammer throws at you.

Intent reconstruction

Maps the full attacker plan: claims, goal, manipulation tactics, and the exact sentence that gave it away. Nothing else explains the why.

Any input format

Paste text, share a screenshot, drop in a link, forward an email as PDF, or use the iOS Share Sheet from inside any app.

Risk score 0–100

Four clear bands, one calm screen. Low gets reassurance. Critical gets a stop sign. No jargon, no ambiguity.

Live Call Shield (Pro)

Open FraudScope during a suspicious call. It listens and flags manipulation tactics in real time: urgency, authority impersonation, requests to move money.

Trusted Person Mode

Share a risk report with a family member with one tap. The report contains only the risk summary and guidance, never the original message content.

15 scam playbooks

The Learn tab covers all 15 scam archetypes FraudScope recognizes: fake bank alerts, tech support, romance scams, fake job offers, grandparent scams, and more.

Who it protects

Built for the people scammers actually target.

The most dangerous scams don’t target the careless, they target the trusting. FraudScope is built for them, and for the families who worry about them.

Senior, living independently

The target

  • One-tap share

Adult child, remote

  • Family plan
  • History on request

FAQ

Common questions.

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 using the URL Inspect feature, and it tells you before doing so.
Will it catch every scam?
No tool can guarantee that. FraudScope is strongest with the full content of a message. Think of it as a powerful second opinion: when something feels off, check it here before acting. When in doubt, slow down and verify through an official channel.
Do I need to be technical to use FraudScope?
No. FraudScope is built for plain-language clarity. Large, readable type. Calm tone. Plain explanations with no jargon.
What if my parent isn't tech-savvy?
They paste or share a message and read one calm screen. They can forward the result to a trusted family member with one tap. The message content is never included in what gets shared.
What is Live Call Shield?
Live Call Shield is a Pro feature. Open FraudScope while you are on a suspicious call. It listens for manipulation patterns such as urgency, authority impersonation, and requests to move money, and flags them in real time on screen, without recording or uploading anything.
Where can I download FraudScope?
FraudScope is available now on the App Store for iPhone. Download it free.
