Deepfake detection & scam prevention

Know when a face, voice or document is fake.

Scam AI checks photos, video, voice and documents for AI manipulation and forgery, and gives a plain verdict with the evidence behind it: at onboarding, in claims, or live on a call.

Why Scam AI

AI is so real, eyes can't catch it

Detection can. One engine — Eva V1.6 — across every surface fraud shows up on.

halo · on-devicelive call

A video call: the remote participant's face, which is AI-generated, framed by Halo's warning! HALO · LIKELY SYNTHETIC“CFO” · remoteYou

Halo marks a face that is not real while the call is still on, on the laptop, in Zoom, Teams or Meet.

Illustration: the caller is an AI-generated face.

04

Live meetings

Halo watches the call and flags the synthetic participant while the meeting is still happening.

  • Runs on-device, in real time
  • Flags synthetic video mid-call
  • Nothing is recorded or stored

Claim files carry more identity than a face. PII Zero blurs names, faces, plates and account numbers in documents, photos and video before a file moves.

The stakes

Arup · 2024

One deepfake call cost $25M

Every participant on the video call was synthetic except the victim (Arup, 2024). A deepfake fraud attempt now fires every five minutes (Entrust) — fraud detection has to move at the same speed.

Eva V1.6

One detection model, trained on real attacks

Eva V1.6 Detection Model is trained on real attack media, not academic benchmarks, and retrained as new generators appear, so detection tracks the threat.

One platform, every team

Point, or build.

For teams

Check media in the dashboard

Upload an image, get the verdict, keep the receipt — every run logged with model, evidence, and cost. Prepaid credits, no contracts to start.

For developers

One call from your stack

One REST endpoint for every model, SDKs for Node and Python, and an MCP server so your agent can verify media mid-task.

Safety & security

Built to be audited

  • SOC 2 Type II

    The detection pipeline is independently audited, so security controls are verified, not asserted.
  • GDPR

    Data processing is GDPR compliant. Your media is processed for detection, and every verdict carries the score behind it and a plain-English summary.
  • C2PA member

    Scam AI is a C2PA member, contributing to open content-provenance standards alongside detection.
  • Cloud or on-prem

    Run detection in our cloud or on your own infrastructure; the pipeline stays inspectable either way.

FAQ

Some frequently asked questions.

Q.What can Scam AI actually detect?

Scam AI detects deepfaked faces, face swaps, and fully AI-generated images and video. It also catches forged and tampered identity documents — including template-generated and synthetic IDs — manual edits and splices, and device-level attacks like virtual cameras and injection attacks that defeat naive selfie checks. One engine, the Eva V1.6 Detection Model, covers onboarding selfies, identity documents, claims media, live video meetings, and user-generated content.

Q.How accurate is it, and what about false positives?

Detection is probabilistic, not a yes/no: the Eva V1.6 Detection Model returns a tiered likelihood result — likely real, alert, or likely AI — with the score behind it and a plain-English summary of what it found. You set the thresholds — auto-decline, step-up, or human review — and tune them per flow: stricter for high-value wires, looser for routine account changes. You control the false-positive/false-negative trade-off, not a vendor's fixed cutoff. Eva V1.6 is retrained as new generators appear, so accuracy tracks the current attack landscape, not a frozen benchmark.

Q.Can it work in real time, including live calls?

Real-time detection is what Halo, Scam AI's meeting product, is built for. Halo runs deepfake detection on-device during live video meetings and flags a deepfaked face or manipulated feed while the call is happening, and because analysis stays on your machine, meeting video never leaves it. For application flows, the REST API offers real-time latency for live onboarding and step-up checks, plus batch endpoints for media libraries and claims backlogs. A face-swapped selfie gets declined before the account exists.

Q.Can detection run without sending media to Scam AI?

Yes. Halo analyzes meeting video on-device, so that media never leaves your endpoint at all. For data-residency or no-egress requirements, on-prem and private-cloud deployment keep media, results, and logs entirely inside your own perimeter.

Q.How do you keep up with new deepfake generators?

New face-swap and diffusion tools appear constantly, so Eva V1.6 trains on real attack media — actual fraud attempts, not academic datasets — and retrains as new generators show up in the wild. The team publishes original research — papers and open datasets on deepfake detection, document forgery, and adversarial attacks on age-estimation systems, with named authors on arXiv — and studied techniques become detection signals. Ask any vendor when its model was last updated, and against what.

Q.How does it integrate with our stack?

Integration is one REST API: send video, images, or audio; get back a verdict, the score behind it, and a plain-English summary of what was found. Drop it into your existing decision point — onboarding/KYC, claims intake, the support or moderation queue — and route on the score: approve, step-up, or review. There is no model to train, so a first integration typically takes a day, not a quarter. Node and Python SDKs and a command-line tool wrap the API; Halo, a lightweight desktop app, needs no integration; regulated environments can deploy on-prem or private-cloud. Document forgery checks are a separate plan, arranged with our team.

What is Scam AI?

  • A deepfake-detection and scam-prevention platform: one model — Eva V1.6 — scores faces, voices, and AI-generated media in real time, evidence attached.
  • Catch deepfakes at onboarding and identity verification, on live calls with Halo, or via one REST detection API — and forged documents with document forgery detection, a separate plan.
  • SOC 2 Type II audited, GDPR compliant, backed by published detection research.
  • Remove what should never leave the building: PII Zero redacts names, faces, plates and account data from document scans, photos and video, fully offline, with a leak check on every run.
