> A privacy-first web app that helps people in Ghana organize digital-scam evidence, understand the risk, and produce a clean, non-accusatory incident report, without doxxing, shaming, or declaring anyone guilty.
**Live:**
fraudcase-gh.vercel.app
FraudCase GH turns a confusing pile of suspicious SMS, WhatsApp messages, links, screenshots, and Mobile Money receipts into a structured case file with an AI-assisted risk assessment, **AI-extracted (and user-verified) evidence facts**: a timeline, an evidence checklist, and a downloadable PDF report suitable for sharing with a bank, mobile-money operator, or the National Cyber Security Authority.
> **Positioning:** FraudCase GH is a decision-support and evidence-organization tool, **not** a law-enforcement system and **not** a verdict on any person.

## Problem statement
Digital fraud is widespread in Ghana: fake delivery/clearance-fee smishing (e.g. spoofed `GH-POST` senders), Mobile Money "wrong transfer / reversal" tricks, WhatsApp task-and-deposit recruitment scams, and credential-phishing links. When someone is targeted they face three problems:
1. **Disorganized evidence**: screenshots, texts, links, and receipts scattered and easy to lose.
2. **Uncertainty about risk**: hard to tell how dangerous a message is, or what to do next.
3. **Risk of overreaction**: public "name and shame" can defame innocent people and expose the victim's own data.
FraudCase GH **organizes** evidence into a private case, **assesses** risk with cautious AI, and **frames** everything as non-accusatory decision support, while **redacting** sensitive data before any of it reaches a model.
