In particular, you can contact him on WhatsApp, and Scamio will then take care of detecting possible threats within messages and links. You can also start a conversation with Scamio on Messenger, and make Scamio your new trusted friend, a web security expert.
Added to this is a web application from Scamio, which will again allow the user to quickly initiate a discussion in order to analyze a particular message or link. In this way, you chat with Scamio like you chat with any contact.
In terms of operation, it is possible to copy and paste a message, download an image, send a link or describe a situation.
