The pipeline

One scan, six sources of truth.

Every check runs in parallel. You see the verdict — and the evidence behind it — in under ten seconds.

Step 01

Submit any input

A URL, an SMS body, a screenshot, or a PDF — paste or drop it in. No login. No friction.

Step 02

We scrape and cross-check

Crawl4AI loads the page. Google Safe Browsing and VirusTotal vet the domain. WHOIS flags freshly-registered scam infra.

Step 03

Argus makes the call

A scam-trained AI weighs every signal — language patterns, domain age, vendor flags — and produces a verdict with red flags you can act on.

Under the hood

Six engines. Every scan, every time.

Each verdict is a vote across these — not a single model hoping to get it right.

Scam scanner
Threat Detector

GPT-4o multimodal classifier trained to surface scam intent, urgency tactics, and impersonation patterns across URLs, messages, and images.

Network Scanner

Reaches the live URL through a sandboxed headless browser, then cross-checks it against Google Safe Browsing and 91 VirusTotal vendor feeds.

Pattern Recognizer

Matches the link against millions of known scam fingerprints from threat-intel feeds, plus our own AI red-flag taxonomy.

DocuScan
Document Classifier

Sorts every document into Authentic, Suspicious, or Tampered — with a confidence score and the exact evidence behind it.

Metadata Verifier

Reads embedded PDF metadata — creator, producer, edit history, timestamps — and flags conflicts a forger almost always misses.

Format Consistency Checker

Detects font inconsistencies, alignment mismatches, and copy-paste artifacts that human eyes routinely overlook.

Phishing & smishing
Crypto investment scams
Romance & love-bombing
Document forgery
