Nice initiative. Are you planing to make a website for this? With these kinds of apps you need to do some due dil on the app it self as well, so a website with some info would be awesome!

it's a very important information or a necessary information that each & every one should know about the scams that we r gng through. So knowing it through ScamNet is a wonderful thing. Congratulations on your launch 👏

ScamNet looks like a much-needed tool in today's digital world. I'm interested to know how it updates its database of scams – is it user-driven or does it use some sort of AI detection? Or does it connect with some already existing databases? Great initiative, though!

@ekarp I would like to mention that it does all of the above. It aims to minimally alert the user if it detects that something isn’t right and block it if it’s very confident.

Congratulations on your launch Mohan! This looks like an amazing tool to have to protect against scams. How does it work?

@claudiu_cogalniceanu It works by looking for scam indicators in the contents (SMS, Websites) and a blacklist for calls fuelled by user reports. In brief, It identifies the call to action among other factors and runs it through an evaluation engine which then outputs if something is scam. Details of how it works can be found in the privacy section of each module in the app.

Wow, this sounds like such a useful app! I'm always worried about falling for scams, so having a proactive shield like ScamNet would give me peace of mind. I'm curious, how does the app determine if something is "scammy"? Also, have you considered partnering with organizations like the Better Business Bureau or the Federal Trade Commission to further enhance the app's scam detection capabilities? Great job on creating such an important tool!

Some are already in!
