Common patterns

Built for the scams people actually receive.

Parcel and toll fees

Small urgent payments, fake redelivery links, toll notices, and customs charges.

Bank impersonation

Messages that push you to verify, move money, disclose codes, or call a number in the text.

Marketplace traps

Overpayment, courier collection, fake buyer protection, and off-platform payment requests.

Investment pressure

Crypto, guaranteed returns, celebrity adverts, and private groups that promise fast money.

Privacy model

No account. No database. No message upload.

Scam Pause is deliberately small. The first version runs checks locally in your browser so operating costs stay close to zero and users can try it without handing over sensitive messages.
