Field notes
The homepage illustrates four patterns—fake support agents seeking PINs, mistaken-deposit refund requests, impersonation from a new number, and advance-fee prizes—with suggested responses. It describes detection as running on the phone, with only a suspected scammer’s number sent onward after five witnesses and an agent review; these are site-stated safeguards, not independently verified here. The offered APK is labeled version 1.0, 99 MB, and Android 10 or later; Google Play is marked forthcoming and the App Store version in development.
