Skelm
On-device scam-message checker for South African consumers. Pastes an SMS, WhatsApp message, or email through a 25-rule engine built for local bank names, SARS/SASSA/Home Affairs impersonation, and payment rails like eWallet and vouchers, then names the exact reasons a message looks like a scam instead of returning a bare score. Checking a message makes no network request of any kind.
