An intelligent AI-powered scam detection tool for everyone

Client: Mekong Data Protection (MDP)

Industry: Data Protection, Cybersecurity, Policy & Advisory

Location: Cambodia and Southeast Asia

The Challenge: Online scams, including job scams, investment scams, and phishing messages, pose a significant threat, with Cambodians alone losing an estimated $40 million to online fraud in the first half of 2024. MDP required an intelligent, accessible, and privacy-focused tool to combat this problem and promote a safer digital ecosystem.

Key Goal: Develop SCAMCHECK AI, a web-based, mobile-friendly application to provide instant scam detection and action guidance to everyday users.

Oradata's Solution: Building SCAMCHECK AI

Oradata was contracted to design, develop, and implement the intelligent engine and platform for SCAMCHECK AI. We delivered a proprietary system leveraging multiple AI and forensic techniques to provide highly accurate, localized scam detection.

Key Technical Features Developed by Oradata:

• Multi-Modal AI Input: Developed a single, simple interface that allows users to input suspicious content via text, photos, or URLs for immediate analysis.

• Linguistic & Behavioral Forensics: Engineered a core AI model capable of detecting specific scam indicators such as urgency, coercion patterns, and dialect mismatches common in regional fraud attempts.

• Computer Vision & OCR: Integrated functionality to extract text from images (OCR) and use Computer Vision to detect visual anomalies like forged logos.

• Reputation Cross-Referencing: Built heuristic analysis that checks submissions against scam databases to identify homograph attacks and assess domain authority.

• Localized Language Support: Launched the application with initial support for both Khmer and English.

Since the launch of SCAMCHECK AI on December 06, 2025, MDP has provided the public with a critical defense tool against digital fraud.

Measurable Impact:

• Actionable Guidance: The tool provides clear outputs: a Risk Level (High Risk, Suspicious, or Low Risk) and unambiguous Action Guidance (e.g., "Do not click on the link," "Do not send money").

• Data Privacy Assured: By strictly adhering to the client's privacy requirement, Oradata ensured that all information provided for analysis is NOT collected or stored, building crucial user trust.

• Broad Reach: The tool is immediately available to the general public, job seekers, company staff, and government employees.

Future Scalability:

• Regional Expansion: The architecture is designed to support the planned expansion to neighboring countries and the addition of multiple languages within 12-24 months.

• Community Integration: The platform will integrate with planned features like a Telegram group for crowdsourcing reports and an automatic complaint tool to report scams to authorities.
