ScamMinder — AI Scam Detection Platform

Context

ScamMinder analyzes websites to determine whether they are scams before a visitor commits money or personal information. The platform meets users where they browse: through the web app, a Chrome extension, and a Telegram bot.

The Hard Part

A scam verdict is only useful at the moment of decision, so the 14-phase verification pipeline had to complete its full analysis in seconds — and keep doing so reliably as volume passed 20,000 domains.

What I Built

• 14-phase domain verification pipeline built on React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL
• GPT-4o classification layer that turns pipeline signals into a scam-risk verdict
• Stripe and PayPal payment integration
• Telegram bot for running domain checks from chat
• Chrome extension for in-browser scam detection
