ScamShield Extension MVP

Chrome extension MVP for hackathon phishing and scam detection.

What It Does

• Scans the current page for suspicious URL, text, metadata, and link signals
• Scores the page locally inside the extension
• Calls Gemini directly from the extension for a short user-facing explanation
• Shows the result in the side panel and warns on risky links

Run It

1. Open chrome://extensions
2. Turn on Developer mode
3. Click Load unpacked
4. Select the scam-shield folder
5. Open any page and click the extension icon to view the side panel

Hackathon Note

This MVP calls Gemini directly from the extension for speed of development. That is acceptable for a hackathon demo, but not secure for production.
