TrustScan flags AI writing patterns the human eye can't see. ➤ Spots phishing, BEC, wire fraud, and fake-invoice scams Recognizes business email compromise, fake CEO requests, real estate wire fraud (fake wiring instructions near a closing date), payment-redirect fraud, fake invoices, and credential-harvesting attempts. ➤ Verifies deepfake & AI-generated images Hover any image in an email - TrustScan checks if it's AI-generated or manipulated. ➤ Plain-English explanations Every verdict tells you exactly why - "impersonates a known brand," "AI-generated writing pattern," "suspicious sender domain." ➤ Zero workflow change No copy-pasting. No separate tool. No clicking.

Q: Does TrustScan read or store my emails? A: TrustScan analyzes email text in real time to generate a trust score. It does not store, save, share, or sell your email content. Q: How is this different from Gmail's spam filter? A: Gmail filters obvious spam. TrustScan analyzes the emails that get through your filter - the dangerous ones built to fool a human. Q: Can TrustScan detect ChatGPT- or AI-written emails? A: Yes. TrustScan uses writing-pattern analysis to flag emails likely generated by ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or other large language models. Q: Does it detect real estate wire fraud? A: Yes. TrustScan checks the sender's domain against who they claim to be and flags fake wiring-instruction and closing-document emails before you act on them. Q: Does it work on the Gmail mobile app? A: Not currently. TrustScan works on Gmail in a desktop browser. Q: Will it slow down Gmail? A: No. Scans run in the background and add no noticeable latency. Q: What permissions does TrustScan need and why? A: Read access to gmail.com so it can analyze emails you open. Nothing else. No browsing history, no other tabs.
