Highlighted passages are observable text patterns detected by the evidence layer. They are not claims about sender identity or intent.
How to read an artifact
The frozen v0.5 classifier contributes a WEAK, ELEVATED, or STRONG text-risk signal. The UI does not present it as a calibrated probability of malicious intent.
Requests, threats, urgency, suspicious URLs, impersonation cues, and other behaviors are cataloged separately from the ML score.
Warnings such as “never share your OTP” can counter superficial keyword matches when stronger malicious requests are absent.
When a message does not contain enough evidence, Scam Museum can return Insufficient Evidence instead of forcing a binary accusation.
Curatorial statement
The collection uses reconstructed demonstrations inspired by documented scam patterns. It is intentionally separated from private visitor analysis.
A message examined in the private room is not automatically added to the gallery. That avoids exposing personal conversations or publishing a false-positive classification.
The museum teaches visitors to recognize observable manipulation techniques and verify suspicious interactions independently.
Scam Museum turns the metaphor into the information architecture: collection, exhibits, accession records, an examination room, and curatorial notes.
