What it does
The Scam Exposed helps you check if a phone number or website is a scam before you engage with it. Built from FTC Do Not Call complaint data and real reader reports, it covers thousands of reported scam numbers and sites so you can verify a suspicious call or link in seconds. Free to use, no signup required.
Got a scam call, text or email, or already lost money? Who to call first, where to report, and the deadlines that matter. Free, no sign up.
How today's phone, text and online scams work, what to do in the first hours after one, and how to protect the people you care about. Simple, clear steps you can follow right away. Plenty of sites will tell you a number is "spam". Few tell you what the caller is really after, or what to do once you have already answered, clicked or paid. That is the gap this site is built to fill. Pick the situation closest to yours. Each one leads to the next step, not to a sales page. The phone and carrier settings that stop most scam calls and texts before they reach you. Asked for gift cards, a wire, crypto or a payment app? Two questions tell you where you stand. Who to call first, where to report, and…from thescamexposed.com

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
