Oversight: Scam Detection

About Oversight: Scam Detection

Oversight helps you spot scams before they cost you. Scan any suspicious text, email, link, or screenshot and get a clear risk verdict in seconds — powered by on-device checks and AI analysis.
WHAT OVERSIGHT DOES

• Scan screenshots — share a screenshot of any message, DM, or email and Oversight analyzes it for phishing and scam signals.
• Highlight to scan — select text in any app and tap "Scan with Oversight" for an instant risk check.
• Share to scan — send a suspicious link or message straight from the share menu.
• Scam call shield — incoming calls are checked against a community scam-number list, so you know before you pick up. Report scam numbers in one tap to help protect others.
• Screenshot watch (optional) — turn it on and Oversight can check new screenshots for scams automatically. It's off by default and only ever looks at new screenshots you take after enabling it.
• Scan history — review your past scans and risk scores any time.
• Family protection — link accounts so a trusted guardian gets alerted when a high-risk scam is detected.

HOW IT WORKS

Quick scans run instantly on your device using a built-in detection engine — free and unlimited. For a deeper look, an AI scan reviews the content for impersonation, fake links, urgency tactics, and other common scam patterns, then explains why something looks risky and what to do next.

PRIVACY FIRST

Your privacy matters. Screenshots and message text you scan are used only to produce your result — the original content is not stored on our servers; only the risk score and a short summary are saved to your history. Quick scans run entirely on your device. You can delete your account and data at any time from within the app.

WHO IT'S FOR

Anyone who wants a second opinion on a suspicious message — whether it's a fake delivery text, a "your account is locked" email, a too-good-to-be-true offer, or an unknown caller. Great for protecting parents, grandparents, and family members who are common scam targets.

Oversight offers a free tier with unlimited on-device quick scans, plus optional Pro plans for unlimited AI deep scans and family features. A 7-day Pro trial is included.

Note: Oversight is a detection aid and cannot identify every scam. Always use your own judgment before sharing personal or financial information.
