- People in Mauritius checking suspicious messages
- Worth noticing
- The sample warning quotes an urgency threat and OTP request, flags a lookalike domain, and points to MCB’s listed mcb.mu address.
Field notes
The homepage lays out a three-stage decision path: language-model labeling, deterministic checks against Mauritian institution details, then a rules-engine verdict. Its worked MCB SMS example identifies an account-block threat, OTP request, and lookalike domain, and gives a callback instruction using the number on the card. The page also distinguishes the Outlook add-in’s email and SPF/DKIM/DMARC review from attachment handling: it says the add-in does not open attachments or send mail.
