Fighting online fraud with FraudTalon
20 Jun 2025
After getting so many messages from my parents, wife, sister, and friends asking if emails or ads they saw on social media were legit, I decided to build a tool to help identify fraud, scams, and phishing attempts.
That’s how FraudTalon was born.
It’s currently in MVP version 0.0.1 — basic functionality, simple heuristics (I started with NLP but dropped it — not needed for now), and a single cloud-based LLM. The goal at this stage is to validate the idea.
