Scam Detection

MATRIX helps you recognise scams before they hurt you. The Scam Library ( /scams ) documents the patterns scammers use, with verified sources.

Categories

• Phishing — fake messages that steal passwords and codes.
• OTP scams — tricking you into sharing one-time codes.
• Fake jobs and tasks — 'easy money' that costs you.
• Investment and crypto scams — guaranteed profits that don't exist.
• Fake tech support — 'your device is infected' calls.
• Marketplace scams, social media scams, QR scams, malware scams, impersonation and giveaway scams.

Risk levels

Analyses return a risk level: low (no clear indicators), medium (some suspicious patterns), high (strong scam indicators) or critical (immediate action recommended). Confidence expresses how strong the evidence is.

Reporting a scam

Use /report to file a private report, and follow the verified official resources for your country for formal reporting. MATRIX never invents reporting websites.
