Limitations & Responsible Use

NoToday is a decision-support tool designed to help people pause and evaluate suspicious messages. It is not a guarantee of safety and should always be used alongside common sense and direct verification.

No detection system is perfect

Fraud techniques change constantly. Attackers adapt quickly and often experiment with new language, domains, and impersonation methods. While NoToday analyzes known scam signals, no automated system can identify every possible fraud attempt.

For this reason, the scanner should be treated as a tool that helps highlight potential risk rather than a definitive judgement.

False positives and false negatives

A message may sometimes be flagged as suspicious even when it is legitimate. This can happen when legitimate communication contains patterns that resemble known scam techniques.

Likewise, a scam message may occasionally appear safe if it does not contain recognizable signals at the time of analysis.

Users should always consider the broader context of the message before taking action.

Verification is always recommended

When a message involves money, passwords, or sensitive information, the safest approach is always to verify the request directly with the organisation involved.

This means contacting the bank, company, or institution through an official channel rather than replying to the message itself.

NoToday does not replace professional advice

The scanner is not a substitute for legal, financial, or professional security advice. Its purpose is to provide a quick signal that encourages users to pause and think before responding to suspicious requests.

Responsible use

NoToday should be used to analyze messages that appear suspicious or potentially fraudulent. It should not be used to harass individuals, test private communications without consent, or interfere with legitimate services.

Users remain responsible for their own decisions and actions when interacting with messages, links, or financial requests.

The purpose of NoToday

The goal of NoToday is simple: reduce the number of people who act under pressure without checking first.

By encouraging a brief pause before responding, the system aims to interrupt the urgency that many scams depend on.
