How it works

The classifier runs 7-layer detection:

1. Fast pre-classifier (keyword + pattern signals)
2. Multi-LLM consensus (GPT + Claude + Gemini) for ambiguous cases
3. Vector similarity against 1,100+ verified scam patterns
4. URL safety check (Google Safe Browsing + PhishTank)
5. Crypto scam signal detection
6. Language detection (33 languages)
7. Stylometric analysis (urgency density, caps ratio, mixed-script patterns)

Data comes from 51 live Telegram groups protecting 29,000+ members via Varta — a Telegram anti-spam SaaS.
