Could you build this?
Partial The paste-and-score UI and LLM-based explanations are easy to vibe-code. Reliable scam detection, however, depends on threat-intelligence data such as blocklists and scam-report databases that a solo builder lacks.
What it would actually take: The front end and LLM analysis can run on a standard stack, with public URL-reputation APIs such as Google Safe Browsing as inputs. The hard part is building a scam-pattern dataset that stays current, which takes ongoing collection of real scam reports, a labeling pipeline, and fraud-analyst review to keep false positives and negatives manageable.
