FraudPause

FraudPause is a fraud-prevention shield that guards the moment before money moves. In 2024, reported fraud losses in the US reached $12.5 billion, and victims typically reach a bank only after the money is gone. FraudPause checks a suspicious message, call, or QR sticker before payment: paste text or a screenshot, describe a call, or photograph a QR sticker, and get a verdict (Likely scam / Suspicious — slow down / No red flags found) with named red flags, what to do now, and what to say. The same engine triages synthetic analyst alerts (Door 2), turning one alert into a case story with a recommended disposition — the human always decides. It is bank-integration-free: it needs only the user's permission, never a bank's; it monitors communication channels, not banking or payment channels, and never sees accounts, transactions, or payments.
