The Message group on the Why? screen lists what the text itself does. The words that matched are highlighted in the message. Scam texts use the same few tricks again and again:
- "Pressures you to act fast: “…”": "within 24 hours", "today only". Pressure stops you thinking.
- "Asks for a payment: “…”": a small fee for a parcel, a fine or a bill.
- "Asks for a password, code or card details: “…”": no bank, courier or authority asks for these by text.
- "Asks you to call a number: …": a number in the text may lead to a fake "bank" line.
- "Talks about a parcel or delivery: “…”": the most common scam in Poland and the UK.
- "Promises a prize or refund: “…”"
- "Threatens a block, fine or cut-off: “…”": an account block, a fine, a power or phone cut-off.
- "Promises easy money (an investment, crypto or job offer): “…”"
"Wording is similar to known scams: …" comes from 1krBlocker's wording model on your phone, trained on real scam messages. It notices how a message is written, not only single words.
"Looks like a normal one-time code message" lowers the risk: genuine one-time-code messages (from your bank, an online shop) look a certain way, and the app recognises them. Still never pass a code on to anyone who asks for it.
One reason alone rarely means a scam; a delivery notice can be real. Several together (a delivery story, a fee, a link and a deadline) are a strong sign.
