Scamurai is being designed for authorized protection around people who face manipulation, coercion, impersonation, grooming, or financial exploitation.
Age, disability, language, diagnosis, or family role never becomes a risk score. The system watches for observable tactics, explains its signals, and alerts an accountable human.
Who protection may support
People are not “vulnerable types.” Criminals exploit moments: isolation, unfamiliar systems, cognitive overload, emotional distress, trust, shame, or a desire to protect someone they love.
Online grooming, sexual or financial sextortion, gift-based coercion, violent online networks, unsafe channel migration, and threats to expose private material.

Until real connectors ship, these are design targets—not claims that this static site can read a private account, device, bank, WhatsApp conversation, Facebook profile, or Discord server.
Forwarded or user-authorized SMS, email, call metadata, and exported conversations. Detect urgency, suspicious links, secrecy, impersonation, and unusual payment demands.
Consent-based profile and conversation checks for stolen identities, catfishing, rapid intimacy, off-platform migration, fabricated crises, and investment pivots.
Developmentally appropriate, transparent signals such as gifts, secrecy requests, adult-space migration, boundary testing, threats, or a request for intimate material.
New payees, unusual transfers, recovery-method changes, account lockouts, cash withdrawals, or “move your money to safety” scripts. No power to move or freeze funds.
Password resets, MFA changes, SIM ports, unfamiliar-device logins, new recovery contacts, and reuse of known impersonation infrastructure.
Screenshots, receipts, URLs, names, timelines, and notes deliberately added for review—with provenance and retention controls kept visible.
What the guardian looks for
One weak signal should prompt context, not an accusation. Several corroborating signals can justify a calm verification alert.
A relative, bank, platform, police officer, government office, teacher, executive, or romantic interest appears from an unverified account.
The contact says time is running out, forbids independent advice, or threatens arrest, exposure, abandonment, or harm.
The relationship quickly moves to a private channel, then discourages family, friends, moderators, banks, or professionals from checking the story.
Requests for passwords, one-time codes, identity documents, remote access, intimate media, or proof-of-loyalty tasks.
Gift cards, crypto, wires, P2P payments, cash couriers, “safe” accounts, or a new payee under intense pressure.
A small fee, gift, image, or favor becomes a larger demand—and each payment creates a new obstacle.
Live contact, official numbers, spontaneous video, withdrawal tests, or an independent callback are repeatedly delayed or forbidden.
The contact instructs the person to deceive family, a bank teller, a teacher, a platform, counsel, or law enforcement.
Consent and lawful use
Monitoring must be informed, visible whenever legally and developmentally appropriate, narrowly scoped, and revocable where applicable.
Adults opt in for themselves unless, to the extent permitted by applicable law, a legally authorized representative has documented authority that specifically covers the proposed data access and monitoring. Diagnosis or disability alone does not create authority.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, an authorized parent or guardian establishes the protection boundary. Teen safety should be transparent and paired with conversation, not secret blanket interception.
A trusted contact receives only the alert detail needed to help. Monitoring does not automatically grant account ownership, transaction power, or message access.
No stalking, coercive control, secret partner monitoring, employee surveillance, unlawful account access, retaliation, or discriminatory profiling.
Alert flow
Scamurai is decision support, not an emergency service, medical provider, bank, attorney, or law-enforcement agency.
